Eat Your Green Pear When It Turns Black! Avocado
Avocado, a native to tropical America, is a common backyard tree in Hawaii. It
has been considered an aphrodisiac in some cultures. Avocado contains seventeen
vitamins and minerals and has more potassium than many other fruits and
vegetables.
Avocado Tips
Avocado ripens only after it is picked and may need 10 days to ripen. When ripe,
an avocado will yield to pressure. Use mashed avocado as a topping for baked
potatoes or include it in a salad dressing for a rich, creamy texture. Mashed
avocado is also good to stuff mushroom caps and omelets and to top hamburgers
and other sandwiches.
