Avocado ea

Avocados aren’t just great-tasting fresh produce items, but they are a nutrient-dense food enjoyed around the world. Because of the creamy texture and mild flavor of Hass avocados, they are a versatile ingredient that can be used in many different types of recipes and dishes. Not only is an avocado a great ingredient to use in numerous ways, but it is also a healthy food that contributes unsaturated “good” fats and almost 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients including Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin C and Vitamins B5 and B9. Ripe avocados will have dark green to nearly black skin color, a bumpy skin texture and should yield to gentle pressure without leaving indentations or feeling mushy. Avocados with a slightly bumpy texture should be ripe in 1 to 2 days.
