Also know as the alligator pear, avocados are one of the healthiest foods for you! They are a great source of fiber, potassium and contain more than 75% of your daily value of Vitamin C. They may be one of the fattest fruits too, but in a good way! Avocados are extremely good for your heart. Not only is this pear-shaped fruit good for you, but it is super tasty as well. I love to add avocado to a BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich; it adds some extra flavor and nutrition to a somewhat unhealthy lunch. You can put them in pastas, soups, pies, pizzas, paninis, or just eat them by themselves! They make for great spreads, and also one of the best dips.....guacamole. Besides being used to satisfy your appetite, they can satisfy your skin's health as well. These fruits make for exceptionally great moisturizers. For a homemade face mask, mix up some avocados with components such as honey, bananas, lemons, or egg yolks. Hopefully all these facts have inspired you to go out and buy some avocados, whether it be to smear on some toast, or your face!
