6 Things You Probably Don’t Know About AVOCADOS

Here are 6 facts about Avocados that most people don’t know (yet). Avocados are, of course, popular as the main ingredient in guacamole dip — and most people already know that avocados are good for you because they contain healthy fats and lots of healthy nutrients.

Most avocado-lovers don’t realize that an avocado is a berry fruit, and not a vegetable. It’s actually the matured ovary of an avocado flower comprised of a tough outer skin covering the flesh of the fruit which is essentially a casing round a large seed in the middle.

One of the major nutrients in an avocado is potassium. In fact:

An Avocado Has More Potassium Than A Banana
A single avocado has 975 milligrams of potassium, while a banana, well-known for being loaded with potassium, delivers just half that, with 487 milligrams per large fruit.

PEANUT BUTTER versus Homemade ROASTED ALMOND BUTTER

Since peanuts (and peanut butter) can be difficult to digest for some people, it makes sense to substitute a different kind of nut butter for the peanut butter in your favorite recipes, or as a spread in your sandwiches. This popular homemade Roasted Salted Almond Butter with flaxseed is a delicious alternative! (Note that you can also use cashews to replace the almonds in this recipe, if you want.)

What’s the the big problem with peanuts?

Peanuts are not a nut, but in fact, a legume, hence the reason they can be so difficult for our body to process.
*ah-hem* gas, bloating, bad news *ahem* *cough* *cough*

This super-delicious Almond Butter can be stored safely in the fridge for at least 2 weeks.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make a jar of this delicious Roasted Salted Almond Butter:

3 cups almonds
1 tsp salt
3 Tablespoons flaxseed meal

Now just follow these easy preparation steps:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees and spread almonds evenly on a baking sheet.

2. Roast for about 20 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

3. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes, then add to food processor and process, scraping down the sides as necessary.

4. Process for 10-12 minutes and once it’s a smooth and creamy texture, add the salt and flaxseed and process for another minute or so until well combined.

5. Transfer to a clean jar or container and store in the fridge to keep fresh.
