Guacamole

**StoneGRMI** · 02-10-2008, 07:54 PM

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!

Call the GPD they can help. It's the Guacamole Police Department...LOL
Serious they do need regs on false advertisment

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
