I just got an email with this great article on avocados… check it out!  There’s a lot of information about buying, storing, and enjoying fresh avocados.  Then check out the avocado recipes at MealEssence.com!

The heart-health benefits are worth the read, and they are also rich in potassium, Vitamin E, fiber, folate, and Vitamin B6.  You may also want to check out more information about the Avocado and it’s history.  I had never seen an avocado tree although my husband has attempted to grow one from the seed for many years.  Avocados are so tasty and the key ingredient in fresh guacamole, as well as many salads and appetizers.

Be sure to check out our recipes and enjoy all the benefits of avocados today!
