CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) - Whitney Hemmer shares fun Cinco De Mayo recipes in this Fareway Cooking Segment.
Avocados
Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients and are part of a health healthy diet, but did you know that peeling the skin from your avocados instead of scooping out the flesh saves more nutrients? The dark green flesh near the skin has been found to contain higher carotenoids than the lighter colored flesh – meaning more antioxidants in each slice.
- Gently squeeze avocado in the palm of your hand. Ripe, ready-to-eat avocados will yield to gentle pressure.
- Cut the avocado in quarters lengthwise, going around the pit.
- Separate the quarters.
- Peel each segment, starting from the tip.
- Peeling saves more of the dark green flesh than the traditional scooping method.
