Guacamole

[StoneGRMI]

I always make my own guacamole but I was at the store tonight and I decided to see if any company makes a fresh guacamole consistent to what I make at home. To my surprise I found that almost every single guacamole dip in the markets contain little to no actual avocados in them! So I did a search and found this article: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...acamole30.html

Hopefully someday theres a federal regulation on this kind of stuff so people can't advertise products so wrong!

I just thought I would share and give a short warning for anyone that likes guacamole as much as I do. Peace out!

At least most of us here are smart enough to read the labels before buying anything. I guess the thing that bugs me is that something like this is a contributor to the obesity problem in the U.S.. People probably read that guacamole is good for you in health books and then they buy the pre-made crap thus gaining more weight on their "diet". I added my recipe for guacamole in my blog and also my salsa recipe. I use both in my diet as staples to keep me sane.

I will try you guac recipe, but I just love eating avocado with tuna or mix it with my chicken and rice. You know what else is good? Wasabi dressing and/sauces, they help with flavoring
