(Food-Beverage-News.Com, November 08, 2015 ) Taylor, MI -- November 14th is National Guacamole Day. Guacamole contains mashed avocados and seasonings such as lime or lemon juice, garlic and cilantro. It's usually eaten with tortilla chips or as a topping. Avocados contribute vitamins, minerals and healthy fats to the dish. In moderation, guacamole is a healthy addition to a balanced diet.
A guacamole recipe made with four large avocados makes eight servings, each containing 150 calories and 2 grams of protein. Because guacamole is a calorie-dense food, those counting calories must watch portion size. A serving of guacamole contains 9 grams of total carbohydrates, 13 grams of total fat, only 2 grams of saturated fat and is cholesterol-free.
California and Florida produce most of the avocados grown in the US. Avocados are at their best when they are slightly soft, but without dark sunken spots or cracks. Tree ripened avocados generally have a better flavor and can be identified by their slight neck. California avocados usually have a richer taste than avocados grown in Florida. It's best to only purchase avocados that have a dark green skin; light and bright skin is a sign the avocado is not ripe.
To celebrate National Guacamole Day Grama's Kitchen sells a 2-Piece Set of Flexible Chopping Mats for cutting avocados and chopping other ingredients such as garlic and cilantro. The set, which contains one blue mat and one red mat, can purchased at a 54% discount from Amazon for a limited time while supplies last.
