The nicest way to introduce Alton Brown: Avocados

Avocados! They are considered only the world's healthiest fruit!

They are sooo pretty.

Avocados are a very important element of almost every losing-weight diet, due to the big amount of nutrients they are stuffed with and their large quantity of calories used to replace any fatty unhealthy food:
Magnesium
Postasium
Vitamin A, C, K, B6
Healthy fatty acids
Fiber
Folic acid
Copper
Many more :P


They are great in salads, not only for the flavor they add, but because vegetable's antioxidants (mostly carotenoids from carrots) are better absorbed when combined with fat.

I like some sushi in my avocado

Why are they so expensive? I've made this question so many times and just found the answer today. Avocados have to be kept 13 months in the tree until they can be harvested. Furthermore, they can only ripe after harvested.


I want to leave you this video featuring Alton Brown on its food network show: Good Eats. If you like cooking and you are also a geek, you will fall in love with him <3
