Food Profile: Avocados!

I love avocados! They're so creamy and good! I like making guac with them and eating them in a sandwich with onion and fake mayonnaise.
So, avocados have for 1 c:
21g. fat
234 calories
it has 24% of your vitamin c,
708 mg potassium
20% of Vitamin B-6

Also:
If you put avocados in your salad, it has the right fats to make the fat based vitamins work. That means that you get more nutrients in your salad than ever! Some of the vitamins won't be released without some fat there.
If you want to keep them from browning, add lemon juice. It also adds some good flavor in your guacamole.

Thacia's Guacamole recipe:
3 avocados
2 t. lemon juice
3/4 t. garlic powder
3/4 t. salt
3/4 t. onion powder

Mash and enjoy!

I'll be doing more of these Food Profiles, looking at natural and processed foods!
