Avo-Merry Christmas!
The World Avocado Organisation is proud to introduce a unique and healthy addition to your Christmas festivities this year. As the holiday season approaches, we invite you to explore a culinary experience that goes beyond traditional recipes – a full-course meal with avocado as the shining star. By incorporating avocados into your Christmas cooking, you can transform your holiday menu into a flavourful yet nutritious delight.
Avocados are celebrated as a superfood, offering various health benefits. Packed with essential nutrients such as healthy fats, fibre, vitamins, and minerals, avocados can help lower cholesterol levels and improve heart, gut and overall health.
They have even been linked to the reduction in the risk of some diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease.
But avocados aren't just nutritious; they are also an incredibly versatile fruit with a unique flavour and creamy, buttery texture. This makes them an invaluable addition to both savoury to sweet dishes - as they contain hardly any sugar, salt or saturated fat, making them the perfect swap for less healthy options such as high amounts of granulated sugar, butter and other fatty foods.
By incorporating avocados into your Christmas feast, you're not only treating yourself and your loved ones to a memorable meal but also investing in improved health.
This Christmas, consider the three jolly avocado showstoppers below…
