    I eat them every night! Going through radiation therapy, had brain surgery I'n, March I have not had one symptom ,I swear its the avocados . I was suppose to lose my hair week 2 or 3 I still have my hair that and lots of water. I am in week 5.

    Glad you're enjoying your avocado and it's perceived medicinal qualities. Wishing you a full recovery from your recent surgery.

    By the way, radiation doesn't cause hair loss. That's usually caused by chemotherapy.

    Rarely. Either if I go to Panera for a Turkey Avocado BLT or splurge on guac at Chipotle.

    Not very often. They tend to be more expensive.

    Maybe bi-annually. Avocados don’t grow naturally here. The ones I have bought were either mushy or hard and bland. I don’t think I know how to pick a fresh one and I haven’t tasted one at its peak.

    Do you have to keep lime juice handy so it doesn’t go brown?

    Try this tip.

    I buy 3 or 4 every trip to the supermarket, which would be twice a week. I can't imagine my sandwiches and burrito bowls without them.

    hmm. I never considered that. I always just give em a light squeeze if they feel like a proper tomato they're good to go.

    Hardly ever. I live in NZ and they’re stupidly expensive here.

    Only when they are less than 99 cents each! Sometimes they have a mesh bag of 5 or 6 for $1.99! Then I eat one every day. I have good luck growing the seeds; I put two outside in pots because I thought they'd like the hot weather, and they were looking wonderful. That is until the chipmunks dined on them. So I just started two new ones. Everyone laughs at me because I live in NE Ohio, but keep trying to grow myself an avocado tree. I get them to be a couple of feet tall, and something bad always happens to them. My favorite way to eat them is just a half buried under some low-fat cottage cheese, seasoned with some jalapeno hot sauce, and I call it lunch.

    Costco now sells frozen, prepared avocado in the fruit section! No more wasted avocado! I like mine mashed in with chicke, red onions and celery...yum!

    Never. It's not that I don't like them... they're just expensive and taste like water to me. And why would I want to waste calories on something so tasteless?

    Whenever I want, and as with all foods I eat (I don't discriminate between so called healthy or not healthy) paying attention to moderation, serving size and daily calorie budget.

    Never. I’ve never eaten an avocado or anything avocado based. Amazingly I’m still alive...

    I really like avocados but they aren't something that I regularly think of buying. When I do- they seem to go bad before I get to them. I know they are healthy but I typically spend my calories elsewhere.

    My sentiment exactly :wink:
