Avocado is a tropical fruit, very nutritious and rich in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.
And today we will share with you some ideas, the way you can take all the benefits of this amazing fruit. We will tell you about its use in the kitchen, and about how to use it for cosmetic purposes, because nutrients are contained literally everywhere: from the pulp and the stone, and ending with the peel.
Useful properties of avocado
Avocado is one of the most nutritious products that only exist. It contains a number of vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, H, K, folic acid), essential fatty acids (Omega-3, 6 and 9), as well as minerals (potassium and magnesium). This is an excellent source of healthy fats, vegetable protein and fiber (dietary fiber).
Super nutritional cocktails
If you add a ripe avocado to your fruit cocktail, then you will get a more dense consistency, and you will not need to add yogurt or milk. In addition, the drink will turn into an incredibly delicious dish, which is ideal for breakfast or lunch.
A great alternative to butter
The thick and oily texture of ripe avocado makes it an ideal ingredient for all sorts of toasts and sandwiches.
It is possible to prepare both sweet and salty paste from avocado.
- Sweet paste (cream): you can mix its pulp with cocoa, vanilla extract, cinnamon or honey.
- Salted paste (cream): can be mixed with garlic, cayenne pepper, black pepper, lemon juice, vinegar, herbs or sea salt.
Ice cream without milk
It sounds strange, but it is true. You really can add avocado when preparing homemade ice cream (instead of cream). Then your favorite delicacy will become more useful.
We recommend you trying combinations with various fruits, for example such as mango, passion fruit, strawberry or banana. Or create other tastes by mixing avocado with vanilla, cocoa or coconut. To prevent its oxidation and, as a consequence, darkening, do not forget to add a little lemon juice. You can always sweeten your fruit ice cream with honey, coconut sugar or syrup.
Stone Seasoning
The avocado stone contains of 70% of all amino acids present in the fruit, and a large amount of soluble dietary fiber.
A stone can be rubbed with a grater and brewed like infusion. In addition, you can add grated avocado bone as a condiment in salads, juice, cocktails, etc. Finally, it can be fried, chopped (in powder) and stored in such a way to be taken at any time.
