Avocado (Persea Americana)

Introduction:

The green fruit is characterised by its particularly mild to nutty taste and its creamy-buttery consistency.

Use/Preparation:

The fruit can be prepared as guacamole, on bread seasoned with salt and pepper, in a salad or in a smoothie. They should not be heated, otherwise they taste slightly bitter.

Health:

The high content of unsaturated fatty acids has a positive effect on cholesterol levels. The fats contained ensure that vitamins and nutrients can be absorbed well by the body. Among other things, they provide B vitamins, vitamins K, D and E as well as the minerals potassium and calcium.

Alternatives:

Walnuts are a valuable alternative to avocados. They also have a high content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Guacamole can also be prepared without avocado - as protein-rich pea guacamole.
