It’s not just a side dish anymore. On National Guacamole Day every September 16th, we elevate this tasty green blend into the spotlight.
Guacamole (or “guac”) is made of avocados, which are well-known for the health benefits related to their high vitamin content and lots of cholesterol-lowering healthy fats. Originally native to Mexico and Central America, avocados grow on trees. In fact, avocados are technically considered a fruit!
There are hundreds of ways to prepare guacamole. People spice up their guacamole with onion, garlic, cumin, tomato, cilantro, or even store-bought salsa.
Traditionally, guacamole is served with tortilla chips but it’s also good with corn chips, carrot sticks and celery. Guacamole is delicious on sandwiches and hamburgers or in salads. Some people even blend it into smoothies!
So, Go Green with guacamole on September 16th!
