About the Recipe
Guacamole is essentially a mix of mashed avocado and spices. The avocado finds its origins in South Central Mexico, where it grows naturally. For this reason, guacamole was created by the Aztecs who inhabited that region.
The food was host to a large number of health benefits. It contains many natural fats and nutrients in addition to being readily available. In fact, the nutritious value of guacamole is quite high.
It is a high source of carbs and healthy fats. The properties that come from avocados may help with cholesterol and blood sugar levels. It is also a great source of sodium and potassium which can work against developing hypertension and high blood pressure.
Additionally, guacamole is an excellent source of fiber and vitamins. One serving of guacamole can serve as a quarter of your daily recommended fiber intake. This helps to lower cholesterol and blood sugar as well.
