Ah! The humble avocado. My favorite fruit. Given the name of this
blog, it's time I said something about them.
The haas variety of avocado are the most common. With so much fat and
fiber, they are
low-carb friendly
, delicious, and
very good for you
. Alas, they're expensive around here. The best regular price
I've seen is $1.50 per fruit. A few times a year, the local
Whole Foods has them on sale for $1, but you can only use so many before
they turn brown and mushy. I buy them firm, and ripen them
in individual brown paper bags, checking on them after a few days. There's
something very satisfying about cutting open a perfect avocado...
Danger!
Trader Joe's
is now selling bags of frozen, pitted avocado halves.
These things are the most vile, disgusting tasting avocados I have ever had
the misfortune of attempting to eat. You have been warned. Stick with their
pre-made guacamole, which is actually a pretty good base for making your own
guac by adding ripe jersey tomatoes and fresh cilantro.
Allez cuisine! |
