FOOD OF THE WEEK - more on AVOCADO..


More on AVOCADO...

Hopefully by now you have tried avocado – if you have, or you are a regular eater, please post on our page your ways of preparing and eating it.

Do you spread it on toast? Do you make your own guacamole? 
Do you eat it alone, with a dash pepper and lime? 
Do you slice it into salads or do you even use it for cake fillings? 
Perhaps you add it to smoothies…whatever the case …we want to know!

Please post – with pictures if possible!


Did you know that many people end up cutting themselves or sustaining injury trying to cut or peel avocado? We don’t want that – so here is a link of how do it – simply and safely!



 Caution:
On an even more serious note - allergies to Avocado do occur, though thought to be quite rare. Such an allergy is a particularly higher risk  in people who are allergic to latex, bananas, tomatoes, kiwi or chestnuts.
 Please exercise caution, especially if you are allergic to latex, as avocado has the potential to cause a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction.
If you eat avocado and experience swelling around the mouth, hives (urticaria), trouble breathing or difficulty swallowing, seek emergency medical care.
If you have an allergic reaction to avocado, let your doctor know so you can be tested for allergy to latex and other fruit.
