Enjoy the Green Superfood in July – Summer Avocado Month!
July is the perfect time to pick up a Summer Avocado and whip up some fantastic recipes with this versatile, delicious and healthy fruit! 30-04-2008
(Summer Avocado month is mid season for South African Avocado’s meaning they are in abundance, and at their peak in the UK!)
Avocados have been used as a health food for over 3,000 years – the Aztecs knew them as the ‘Fruit of the Gods’, a sentiment widely supported by leading nutritionists and dieticians of today, for their fantastic health benefits. Summer avocados are not only energy and protein rich but the minerals, oils and vitamins they contain are vital for optimum functioning of the nervous system, skin and bone health, as well as the heart and circulation.
Take full advantage of of this versatile fruit during Summer Avocado Month, whether it is used to create a savoury meal, a side dish or even as a sweet snack! Avocado’s are incredibly versatile within cooking. Whip up a delicious smoothie as a refreshing summer drink, or with mango and balsamic vinegar as a luscious dessert. Mashed avocado with some seasoning is a yummy addition to toast, or toss some avocado chunks into a salad for a tasty, summery lunch.
This tasty South African fruit is jam-packed full of vitamins, good for the inside as well as the outside! Another way to take advantage of the avocados health properties, simply place a quarter inch crescent of a stoned avocado under each eye for 20 minutes and let the skin soothing vitamin E and moisturising properties work their magic!
Anyone new to Avocados may want to use Summer Avocado Month as a chance to experiment and learn to love this yummy fruit.
