|  Avocadoes
Pear shaped tropical fruit.
Are a very nutritious fruit for
the body and the skin. Avocados contain a nutritious natural fat that lowers
the cholesterol level in the blood and they contain a lot of vitamin A,
B, & E and is therefore used in a lot of skincare products.
Another name for the avocado is Aligator Pear.
Contains iron and vitamin C.
To fasten the riping proces you
put them in a closed plastic bag together with a banana, apple or pear,
see bananas.
If you eat an avocado it is nice
to sprinkle it with lemon- or limejuice. This way it won't turn brown.
An avocado is really ripe when
you can hear the seed rattle if you shake the fruit.
To store them treat avocados like
a tropical fruit. See bananas.
