This season I will mostly be eating........Avocado

Avocado
This goes against the 'eat local produce' thing, but I just lu-uuh-uuve avocados.
Spain is the only commercial producer of avocados in the EU, although they do grow in southern european countries. Most of the avocados available here are imported from Central America or Israel.

The wikipedia link has great info on the fruit that's really a berry.

Nutrition
The nutritional profile of avocados makes them a very interesting addition to a healthy diet. They are high in folate and have more potassium than bananas (good for blood pressure regulation if you keep your sodium intake down too). The fat content is mainly of the 'good' monounsaturated variety, and helps to promote the absorbtion of lycopene. Another reason to eat salsa, anyone?

Of course, the fat content also means waaaaay more calories than your average fruit - so perhaps caution with the amounts of guacamole if you're watching your weight.

Recipes
I'm not so sure about avocado ice-cream like they eat in Brazil (they love their avocados so much that none make it for export), but I have what's amounting to a borderline avocado fetish at the moment.
A lunch favourite is ripe avocado, fresh vine tomato and buffalo mozzarella with a little balsamic. Or just ripe avocado mashed onto bread. Or fresh guacamole with warmed pitta.......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Avocado also goes well in many sushi favorites ....Califonia rolls....mmmmmmm. All this drool can't be good for the computer- time for lunch.
