They don't start to ripen until they are picked, so the grower doesn't have to do anything weird to spread his season out. They are also hard as a rock for a good 5 days after being picked so they can be shipped from California to anywhere in America without being harmed.
Avocados do have fat, but they have no cholesterol and the majority of the fat is polyunsaturated. That's good for you, similar to olive oil.
6 more annotation(s)...
- Even with the calories that come with fat, avocados have a high calorie/nutrient ratio. They are very high in fiber, they have more potassium than a banana and avocados are rich in vitamins B, E and K.
- They can be substituted for a whole host of other, less healthy alternatives. You can use them like a cheese spread on crackers (particularly if you make guacamole), you can spread them like butter on a bagel and you can use a few slices to replace mayo on a sandwich.
- When choosing an avocado, choose one that is soft but not soft enough that your finger leaves a dimple when you apply pressure. A rock hard avocado is not yet ripe so if you choose that one, don't plan to eat it that day.
- If you're not going to use the entire avocado in one go, don't remove the pit - it keeps the rest of the fruit a bit fresher even after you've hacked it open.
- I eat avocado, sometimes just with salt, pepper and lime juice, while I'm cooking dinner so I won't munch on other things that are less healthy and less satisfying. Avocados, along with nuts, are great foods for weight-control in reasonable amounts.
