Whole conventional avocados are a versatile and nutrient-dense fruit that can be enjoyed in many different recipes. They are perfect for barbecues and outdoor gatherings with friends and family. Avocados can be used in Mexican food items like tacos or burritos, as appetizers like avocado crostini, or in a fresh guacamole or avocado dip. They provide unsaturated "good" fats and almost 20 vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. When selecting avocados, look for a dark green to nearly black skin color, a bumpy texture, and they should yield to gentle pressure without feeling mushy. They are creamy, mild, and light. Enjoy all kinds of healthy foods and recipes at your next gathering with friends and family.
