Make your party super with a fresh avocado

Fresh avocado cultivation began over 10,000 years ago mostly in tropical areas. Throughout history people has loved eating avocados in many different ways. One of those ways has only been in recent times discovered since the invention of the electric blender.
Slice the fresh avocado lengthwise, wounding around the pit. Twist the halves in opposite directions. Do not take away the pit unless you intend to use the whole avocado at once. Few people even like blending the pit in their smoothie.
A fresh avocado will dim after it has been cut open. Place plastic wrap over any unused portion of the avocado and keep cold. You can also spread lemon juice on the unused half to stop further oxidization. Refrigerate entire avocados only if you want to stop the ripening process.
Benefits:
Avocados offer a generous supply of healthy fats, , alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, vitamin A and vitamin E.
