Thanks to Avocados from Peru for sharing their recipe ideas
Avocados are versatile: you can eat them mashed, diced or sliced. They are a healthy ingredient you can use in a plethora of summer dishes, on toast for breakfast, in cakes and even as a nutritious baby food – they are not just for making guacamole. Hass avocados are the most popular variety of avocado in the world – due to their creamy texture and nutty flavour. This variety can be easily identified by its purplish black colour and bumpy skin. Hass avocados from Peru are widely available in the UK from May until late September.
