Why Avocados From Mexico?
Good fats, like those in avocados, help the body absorb fat-soluble nutrients without raising bad cholesterol levels when eaten as part of a healthy diet.
Avocados are heart healthy. They provide naturally good fats, are low in saturated fat, and cholesterol and sodium free.
Avocados From Mexico are nutrient-dense. This means that they have nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, including 11 percent of your daily recommended fiber, per 1/3 serving size (50 g) 3-slice serving.
Depending on when you’d like to enjoy your avocado, you can opt for a darker skin avocado that yields a gentle pressure and is ready to be eaten, or you can grab a firmer avocado with a greener skin that will ripen between 1-3 days.
Tired of waiting for your avocado to ripen? Here are some quick tricks to help you speed up the ripening process:
Bag It (With Fruit!): Place your avocado in a paper bag with a banana or apple and fold to close. Store it in a warm environment, until the skin turns a darker green and yields to gentle pressure, which usually takes 1-3 days.
Set It: Place your avocado by a warm and sunny window or leave it out on your counter. Once its skin turns a darker color and yields to gentle pressure, it’s ready to be eaten!
Bag It (With Rice!): Place the avocado in a bag of uncooked rice, and fold to close. Store it in a warm environment, until the skin turns a darker green and yields to gentle pressure, which usually takes 1-3 days.
Telling your avocado to slow down won’t help, but below is a helpful trick:
Chill It!: Place a ripe avocado in a refrigerator. Take it out and enjoy anytime!
