[wat do with Avocados? No.4291806]

I have 4 organic avocados; what can I use them for?
I know they are great in wraps, burgers, sandwiches, eggs, pizza and dips but id like something new, and preferably something that uses lots of avocado because I dont want these going brown and mushy.

i've never tried it, but i have a bunch of avocados right now so i'm going to... there's ways to make a chocolate pudding out of avocado.

http://www.howsweeteats.com/2013/02/chocolate-avocado-pudding-yep-its-a-thing/

this is the first recipe i found, but google it and pick something you might prefer.

you could also use it instead of mayo on sandwiches if you put it through a food processor. or you can mash it and throw it in the freezer (or throw it in the freezer whole, and defrost it to eat later. it freezes better mashed) to use whenever.

Nope.

That must be why avocados never existed until the advent of synthetic pesticides.

They were produce in small qualities and in specific locations Right now they are farmed for the mass market. The whole "organic" rhetoric is a bunch of bullshit so companies can sell its products to cunts.

Wild Avocados are very tiny, are 85% pit, and are very fibrous, not smooth and creamy.

What we eat today is a specific cultivar produced by selective breeding over the last 250 years.

It's not as bad as Bananas, which are all literally cloned from the same original tree decades later, but they are all directly related still.

[Anonymous No.4291977]

>>4291951
USDA controls some of the meat production while the FDA controls vegetables/fruit/pharmaceuticals even though its underfunded. Like I said and will say it again the word organic can be thrown around. Just like with the word All-Natural or made with real fruit juice.

They do? I've mostly heard that it's a different kind of pesticide method which does not harm us in the way that the traditional kinds do.

Synthetic pesticides are simply better pesticides in terms of how much you need, environmental footprint, and potential effects on human health.

A friend of mine would mix sour cream with salt pepper and garlic,put it in the depressed part of a de-seeded avocado and squirt a wedge of lime over the top.

At first I scoffed at the idea, but it was fucking delicious

[Anonymous No.4293528]

I love avocado salads. Find a recipe you like. There's one floating around with bacon and sour cream and it's great, but calls for way too much sour cream.

[Anonymous No.4293543]

>>4291826
Same here, although the context OP is using it in is organic food production (I'm assuming). In fact there's no difference between 'organic' food and regular food than the higher price tag at the end of the day. Sure the methods are different, but does it really matter in the end?

On-topic: Guacamole is great, I'm about to make some tomorrow.

I keep hearing adds on the radio that say we should all add them to tuna salad. the ads are from the avacado growers association or something.. and I think they are just trying to give us good ideas on how to buy and use their product. (seems like smart marketing to me)

I can only assume that they would want to suggest something delicious so that we come back for more.


I am unclear, based off the commercial, whether or not to leave out the mayo and just add avacado, or to add avacado in addition to the usual mayo, or to reduce mayo and sub in some avacado. the ad makes it sound healthier, which makes me think I should back off on the mayo.

anyway.. I plan on giving this a try next week after i bake a loaf of fresh bread.

if you try it, please report back and let me know how it turned out.

Lately I've just been mixing avocados with tomatoes with an evoo and lemon vinaigrette. I either eat this as a side salad by itself or I just top lettuce/spinach with this and whatever other salad ingredients I have on hand.

My other major use is in a bean salad. Basically beans, corn and peppers mixed with a red wine vinegar poured over and avocados added at the end so they don't fall apart.

My personal favorite way to use avocado is in sushi. Tuna and avocado rolls are the best thing I've ever had in my mouth.

If you are talking about Hass avacados, actually, I believe it is not selective breeding at all. All Hass avacado trees have come from grafting branches and trunks of other hass avacado trees on avacado root stock. So technically, there has been no breeding (to produce seed stock) and all hass avacados are genetically the same.

this is different from GMO and selective breeding. this is very old plant cultivation techniques being used to ensure high quality produce.

it turns out that avacados, when planted, are very odd plants whose quality varies highly. If the hass avacado growers were to just replant their hass avacados seeds, it is likely that none of their crop from those seed plantings would even be desirable, or even edible.

another interesting fact about avacados is that an avacado cannot reproduce on it's own. the seed actually will not break through the tough outer skin of the fruit and will rot and die. it is only through other animals eating the skin or eating the fruit whole and passing the pit in its poo that the avacado is able to reproduce and survive. the wide spread of avacados in latin america is actually seen as proof that dinosaurs and other large mammals existed there and ate avacados.
