From Tree To Toast - Avocado

While travelling the world you pick up a taste for different foods. Now, I can't wait to return to Key West for its delicious Key Lime Pie Ice Lolly! Yum. I also have a love of avocados. When I heard about The CADO - the world's first avocado museum it struck a cord and I couldn't wait to share! Holy Guacamole.

From Tree To Toast - Avocado

The CADO - the world’s first avocado museum

Scheduled to open this month at Liberty Station in San Diego - The CADO. Stated as the world’s first avocado museum. Visitors will experience seven immersive rooms including The Ripe Room, where they’ll learn how the avocado journeys from tree to toast, to The Powder Room, which educates visitors on the beauty and wellness benefits of avocados. The aim of the museum is to educate visitors that there’s much more to the avocado than just being an Instagram favourite.

Peace, Love, Avocado!

Health

"Avocado is high in fat, which means its calorie content is higher than most other fruit and veg. An avocado has around 280 calories. It’s worth noting that just half an avocado counts as one of your 5-a-day.

Most of the fat in avocados is heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, one of the healthiest types of fats also found in rapeseed and olive oils. Monounsaturated fats have been shown to help lower levels of ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol whilst increasing ‘good’ HDL cholesterol and can also help reduce inflammation.
