What do you call people avoiding healthy fats?
Avocadonts! 🥑✨
Beloved by foodies and chefs alike, Avocados are the undisputed stars of the produce section. Whether you’re whipping up a party dip, enhancing your morning toast, or adding flair to a salad, Avocados have your back. Originating in South Central Mexico, Avocados are now also cultivated in California and Peru, bringing their rich, creamy flavor to tables worldwide.
