Avocados are known to kill it in the kitchen, but they even go beyond just a food. Here is a list of 10 reasons why avocados are a gift to the human race. Enjoy!
1. You can make friggin' guacamole from avocados.
Smash up your avocados. Add some onions, tomatoes, cilantro, lime, and you are all set. Guacamole is known to bring pure happiness to all that eat it. Fiesta for all!
2. You can eat it by itself with a spoon, no problem.
Cut it open. Get a spoon. Eat it. Simplicity at it's at finest.
3. You can eat the pit.
No, you can't eat the pit whole, you psycho. That would be a very bad decision, with a terrible outcome. But, another idea! Some people break it up and blend it into smoothies for nutrients. Seems like too much effort for me, but you could. You can also collect the pits for another use, like juggling or something.
4. You can make any sandwich better with just a little avocado smeared onto the bread.
From avocado BLT's, to avocado toast with a poached egg on top, you can literally smear avocado onto anything. Your egg sandwich can easily go from a six to a 100 with a little avocado on the bread. It's a true, proven scientific fact.
5. They aren't that expensive.
The average price for an avocado is a dollar. A single dollar. If I have 10 dollars, I can buy 10 avocados. Isn't that awesome? Though some would consider them priceless.
6. Eating avocados has amazing health benefits.
Not only are avocados unbelievable in taste but they also help save lives! They are known to have super healthy fatty acids, which aid in protecting the heart. There are also studies that show people who eat avocados have healthier babies, and are also at a lower risk of depression. Wow, could this food get any more perfect?
7. You can bake with avocados.
People sometimes use avocado as a main frosting ingredient (could be interesting). You can also make avocado pancakes, and avocado cake. Yes, cake. Mind blown.
8. You can have a spa treatment with avocados.
Avocado hair masks, face masks, lotion, body oils and more. The antioxidants in the avocado can even cause anti-aging effects. Yep, you are probably panicking, this is too much to handle.
9. Avocados can do anything.
We have concluded that you can make new foods with avocado, you can eat it by itself, you can put it on your food, you can mix it into other foods and you can apply it to your skin and hair for nourishment. Oh, and did I mention that avocados can also make dreams come true?
10. You can love an avocado, more than a food, more like a friend.
You can even keep the avocado as a friend. For example, like the volleyball Wilson in the movie "Cast Away" that kept Tom Hanks company in isolation. There are so many reasons to fall in love with an avocado. Cherish it, and never let go.
