Recipe Notes

Did you know that avocados are actually single seed berries? And, they will only ripen AFTER they are picked from the tree. Avos are loaded with healthy fats, zero cholesterol and 18 essential amino acids. They have a giant 4 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber - more than most other fruits and vegetables! How 'bout them avos?
