Do you eat avacados? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. katsmeow1213 (4931)   ranked 19 out of 5,517 in eating2 months ago

I've heard that avacados are one of the healthiest foods. Here's a little snippet from a website:

Avocados are a surprisingly complete food, with fourteen minerals to stimulate growth, including iron and copper for your blood. The sodium and potassium in avocados keeps your body chemically balanced, and their low sugar content and absence of starch make them an ideal fruit for diabetics or hypoglycemics (choose small slices throughout the day to keep your sugar balanced). Vitamins in avocados include A, several B-complex, C, and E, as well as phosphorus and magnesium. They’re also a great source of antioxidants like vitamins E and C.

Do you eat avacados? How do you prepare them?

Today a smeared a bit of avacado on my turkey wrap in place of the mayonaise. It made the wrap so much healthier and lower in calories and fat, but it still tasted great!

The only problem I'm noticing is the avacado goes bad very quickly! I only cut it open yesterday, used a small bit of it, then put it in a container to use for the rest of the week... but today it was already turning brown!

Do you have any tips on how to store an avacado so it stays fresh longer? I put the remainder of it in the freezer so hopefully I can still use a bit of it tomorrow!

I haven't had an avocado since before I stopped eating Mexican food. My husband isn't a fan. I believe avocado is in guacamole dip? I'm not sure... But No, I haven't eaten avocado in awhile, I didn't realize it had such great health benefits. I usually check health benefits on whfoods.com, you could check that site to see if it has tips on how to keep the fruit fresh, it may even say when it's in season.

My husband loves them and eats them about once a week. I don't like whole avacodos that much but I do like a little guacamole sometimes. I have also had salads with bits of avacodo in them that were very nice. But I don't eat them that often. But I would be willing to try more things that have avacodo in them.

I eat them when they come with meals that I order and especially in guacamole, but I don't buy them. Probably should, but I don't...

as i've red in an article avocados are often called one of nature's perfect foods because they are said to contain everything a person needs to survive. avocados are also a good food for babies because it is sodium and cholesterol free.

I adore avocados and we have several trees. They are seasonal out here. I have never froze them but keep them covered in the fridge. Slices with tomatoes etc are so good in a sandwich too. If it does go mushy then please do not throw away as it is great for your face. Mash it up and add some oatmeal or cornmeal and then lie down with a towel under your head and let it do its work for 15 -20 mins. Wash off with warm water and feel just how soft your face is.

A good salad is cut up avocado with tomatoes and onions and add a spoonful of some kind of pickles and eat it with low fat bread or crackers or stuff a pita bread with it. Very healthy lunch. A wonderful food. do not eat until ripe. If yo want to riopen it quicj=kly then put it in a brown paper bag with a banana. The natural gas from the banana will ripen the pear. So good - I habve a few at home that I am ripening.

If the avocado is bad tomorrow I will try the face mask. It's too bad they don't stay good longer, I was hoping to be able to use it all week. I guess I'll have to buy a few each week and use more of it each time!

Some people tend to hate avocados, just like you Yarex308. We have different likes and dislikes, so it's just common. Me too, I have my dislikes that everybody likes... lol

Hi katsmeowÇ: thanks for your post. I love avocados too, well i'm not sure how often do i eat avocados but i think i probably eat them twice a week thanks to my mom that takes care of the family. I love to eat them with my salad, i would said that specially with salad but it's usual that here where i live, we eat them with beans, rice, eggs, meat and beans and it's simply delicious. Have a nice day.
