National Guacamole Day
We all know and love guacamole as a party snack, but there's more to guacamole than meets the eye. It is made from avocados which are packed with more than 20 vitamins and contain "good fats" that reduce cholesterol and have some cancer fighting powers. Now we're talking!
Whether you buy pre-made guacamole or make your own, you might want to pick up those avocados early. Cinco de Mayo, July 4th, Super Bowl, and Easter each account for approximately five percent of annual avocado sales. Have no fear, avocado trees produce up to 400 fruits a year so there should be plenty to go around. Happy National Guacamole Day!
Today is also Mexican Independence Day & Mayflower Day & National Play-Doh Day
This week is Line Dance Week
