Avocado, although many would not say it, is a fruit . Also caloric, although it is very healthy: avocado in fact has 160 calories per 100 g, this means that an average avocado, weighing about 250/270 g including skin and stone, has about 300, having at least 200 g of pulp. . But then why did the avocado mania break out in Italy too ? Because avocado is a fruit rich in monounsaturated fats, to be clear those of extra virgin olive oil . Fats that are very good for both cardiovascular health, which to counteract the accumulation of fat especially in the abdominal area. To these characteristics, we add the avocado fibers, able to help us keep blood sugar low. But the problem is that this exotic fruit is still considered by most of us Italians as not very versatile , so many wonder how to eat avocado, when in reality, despite being a fruit, it has a very low glycemic index, few carbohydrates, and lends itself very well to both savory and sweet recipes.

In short, how do you eat avocado? 
The first thing to know is that if the avocado is not ripe it is inedible . You must always remember that the pulp must be soft but compact, creamy, so much so that it can be eaten with a teaspoon. Here I explain some very simple ideas to eat it.
– Simple, in the salty version: you can remove the stone, leave the two halves intact and put a vinaigrette in their hollow, then eat it with a spoon. Is very good. You can make the vinaigrette with half a teaspoon of oil, balsamic vinegar or mustard or lemon or lime, pepper, a few drops of Tabasco, salt. – Simple, in the sweet version: you can make it into cubes and season it with a little lemon and a generous teaspoon of honey, more than cinnamon.
