EASY AVOCADO RECIPES

Avocado is one of the less popular vegetables in India, but it is one of the best ones in my opinion. Avocados are technically fruits but they come under the category of fruit-vegetables like tomatoes. These have numerous health benefits and are filled with good fats. As a matter of fact, avocados are the only vegetable which contains fat which adds up to 15 grams. Besides being really good for you, these are versatile and can be used in various recipes, or can be eaten simply raw, as they are. These make great breakfast recipes and sandwiches. Avocado is a great option for vegans too.
