Avocado is one of the healthiest fruit that contains more than 25 essential nutrients. It is also full of goo fats and hence reduces cholesterol. It is also called butter fruit in India due to its soft buttery flesh. It is quite bland in taste but adapts very well to savory and sweet combinations. I love to make milk shakes and smoothies with avocados. Avocado slices with some sugar sandwiched between two slices of bread make a very quick and healthy breakfast.
On the savory side, guacamole i one of my all time favorite. It can be served with some tortilla chips or used to top any Mexican dishes.
