Avocados are not only delicious, but they are a great source of nutrition as they contain over 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Avocados sometimes get a bad rep because of their high calorie count, but they are a source of "good' fat and might even help you lose weight by helping you feel full and increasing metabolism. They're great for babies and kids as well as they're a superfood that is easy to mash and eat-perfect for early eaters!
Sometimes buying the correct avocado can be tricky and then when you get them home, figuring out what to do with them can be downright intimidating. Watch the video below to see not only how to pick them, but how to handle them in your kitchen. Then, enjoy yourself some yummy avocado!
