Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 I agree ; avacodos should not be eaten every day...too much fat. I always keep mine for a free meal or free day and only eat it in moderation. :0) Joann Avacados? > I missed the post that said that you could have an avacado a day?

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 but would like to maybe have some other ideas on what to do with these avacados? Just last week someone was telling me how he ate avocados. He cuts them in half, takes out the stone, pours some vinegar in the hole, adds a little salt and pepper and eats it with a spoon right out of the shell . I went home and tried it and loved it!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Hi all :-) Am new here, but I do have a 'recipe' for avocados. Take a ripe banana and avocado and blend them together in a food processor or blender, chill and eat. :-) Very yummy! Kids even like this.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Avacados are my favorite food. They are so good for you they are considered a "super food". You can dice one up in a salad, slice a half for a sandwich, or eat it plain. The kids love it tossed with other veggies and sometimes some sprouted grain pasta. I find this food ideal when I am not feeling well. Even on a weak stomach it is very soothing. If you don't like Mexican style guacamole, make Greek or Italian or any other blend you can come up with. Greek Guacamole 2 avocados roughly mashed 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 Tbl minced fresh oregano or 1 tsp dry Juice from 1/2 lemon Italian Guacamole 2 avocados roughly mashed 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 Tbl minced fresh basil or 1 tsp dry 1 large Roma tomato, chopped Party Salsa 8 oz. prepared salsa 2 avocados, cut into bite size pieces 1 clove garlic, crushed 4 oz. sliced black olives 4 green onions, sliced (green and white parts) 1 large Anaheim chile - peeled, seeded and finely chopped 1 Tbl fresh minced cilantro or 1 tsp dry (optional) Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl and serve with fresh veggies, pita bread, tortillas, etc. Serve it poured over a block of cream cheese for a real treat.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Put them in a brown paper bag together, they should ripen in a few days. If you want one faster put a slice of apple in the bag with it. Only do this a few at a time so you don't have more than you can consume ripe and ready to eat. They keep very well in the refrigerator, just take a few at a time out to ripen.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I don't know what original post you are referring to, but it should be noted that there are different types of avocados (Florida & California, for example - light vs dark skinned) and the nutritional specifications are very very different. n > One Avacado (this is the whole thing mind you) > > 324 calories > 30 g fat > 14 g carbs > 3 g protein > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
