Avocado Mayonnaise

Avocado is botanically a berry with a big single seed. Its grown in regions with tropical and Mediterranean climate. The fruit is quite fleshy with a subtle flavour. It’s not sweet, but has a very creamy texture. It’s used to make smoothies, icecream, milk shakes, cakes and salads. The most popular recipe is the Mexican guacamole. It has a very high fat content in it and hence used as a meat substitute in sandwiches and salads. It gets

oxidised when exposed to air and hence lime juice or vinegar is added to it to reduce the black discoloration.

It’s a good source of vitamin B, C, K, and Potassium. In addition to this, they are rich in fibre and helps to lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides.
