Oh NO! LOW FAT AVOCADOS!

[Lueloff]

My sister sent me this -found at Festival foods- we are doomed! Now we can’t even trust an avocado to be good ( without scrutiny)

[Dflat]

LOVE IT Fiorella!!! My thoughts exactly when I see news segments with expert nutritionists saying: “do this, sub that & you lower the calories from 600 -300” etc., etc., etc… -you know the drill

[farmgirl]

Ah, say it isn’t so!!! Is nothing sacred?

[biocomp]

Don’t worry, I’m pretty shure it’ll be proudly saying it’s “healthy” and low fat so you won’t miss it

[Autumn_Sangra]

I’ve had one of those so called “avocados” so nasty! No flavor! That was a few years ago of course!

What’s next, sugar-free honey?

Hopefully. . .

They’ll probably just add maltodextrin to bee sweat.

[Fiorella]

There are two main types of avocados that you can get in the U.S.: Florida/SlimCado and Califonia/Hass avocados. FL avocados have a higher fiber to fat ratio than California avocados, so per gram the fat content is lower in FL avocados. They are a big ‘meatier’ because they are more fibrous, and their flavor is more mild due to the fat content being lower. I actually like FL avocados–they are not an engineered fake food, they are just a different variety. They also work better than CA avocados for one my favorite recipes.

Bribes helped get the “low-fat” craze going.

Thanks for this info - I was beginning to wonder if one variety had a bigger seed, hence less calories.

I’ll watch for the florida ones - usually I just see the California or Mexico varieties.
