    I could not stand avocados most of my life. I kept trying them because friends would make a guac and they loved it. Finally, Finally about 10 years ago I tried just one more time. It was my "last" meal before back surgery the next day and man o man I have been obsessed with avocados since LOL.

    I crave them now. I was sad today at the grocer because they were on sale but none ripe enough to eat today....so I wait.

    You have to try an avocado on the half shell, with some oil and balsamic where the pit used to be with some salt and pepper... It is amazing

    Anyone else love Avocados?

    If I could I'd put them on 80% of my meals.

    I should not eat a whole one in a day so how do you store the rest so it does not turn brown?

    If you leave the nut in it it will last longer

    I read that if you put a piece of onion in the baggie it won't brown due to acidity. Kinda like dunking apples in lemon juice so they don't brown in your fruit salad I guess.

    Just for the record I tried this yesterday and it doesn't work AT ALL.

    If you keep the pit in the half that you're not using it doesn't brown as fast (I learned that from some friends in Mexico).

    I love them too! I usually just eat them in my salads. I love all the ideas of how to eat them! I am the only one who will eat them in my house. Now I am craving one!

    I put the other half in a tuppawear box and normally use it the next day. However they do last in tuppawear because the air can't get to them ;)

    Put a little lemon juice on it.

    My favourite way to eat them is cut in half with a tea spoon of soy sauce where the stone was... Just spoon it out, yum!

    Put some larger chopped red onion in bottom of air tight bowl. Then place the avocado on top of the onions with the cut part facing up, seed removed. There is something about the red onions that eats the air in the container and your avocodo stays nice, just like you cut it.

    Avocado gets brown from open air. Remove the seed and use cling/saran wrap. Make sure it's touching the surface of the avo meat so no air has a chance to touch it. Refrigerate.

    My friend, cuts the avocado in half, takes out the stone and put a raw egg in each side where the stone was and then puts it in the over for 20min to cook!

    Love the idea of freezing them in wraps. Must try!

    I enjoy them so much that I will cut one in half, take a spoon, and eat it plain. I have an avocado addiction.

    I love just sliced on a plate with a squeeze of lime, and some cracked pepper and sea salt. Also sliced and wrapped up in a hot corn tortilla.

    Oh, and just placing half in a regular bag does not prevent browning. The only thing that works for me is to use my vacuum sealer to seal the half with the pit still in it. Looks pretty strange but I am the only one that eats them and I'm not wasting half of one!

    Probably one of my favorite foods. Great snack is to chop up half an avacado, some cherry tomatoes and a green onion, sprinkle with salt pepper and lemon juice.... soooo yummy

    is there much difference (if any) between green skin and Haas? just tried green skin this week and it was pretty good!

    I rarely eat them because they aren't readily available at my local grocer, also I'm the only one in my family who likes them so I tend to buy thing that everyone will eat instead. But yes, I love them, the buttery, smooth texture is incredible

    We have 2 types available for sale. One way is in a mesh bag of 5 for 1.99 or individually for 1.99 the difference is the latter you can eat immediately....... those smug fruken iceholes. lol

    If you add avocado and a fried egg to anything that I am eating... I'll love it.

    A secondary benefit is that my 12 yr old daughter thinks it looks disgusting, so I can really play that up with her!!

    Avocado pudding/ice cream: 1 avocado, 1-2 tbs cocoa powder, sweetener to taste. Blend the sucker and freeze it. SO GOOD

    Love avacados. I either eat them plain cut in half with a spoon, or mash them with banana, cocoa powder, cinnamon and cayenne pepper to make a spicy chocolate "pudding".

    I just started eating avocado a few weeks ago. Substituting it for cheese, mayo, etc. I know avocados are full of good fats, but can you have too much avocado in a day? I usually eat about 3/4 of an avocado per day.

    You can go over your calories. But you can eat avocado with every meal and be fine health-wise.

    I like it on black bean burgers. It tastes even better than it does on a beef hamburger.
