Avocados

Avocado is a very low-calorie food. A 1 tbsp., or approximately 14 g, serving of the average commercially available avocado contains just 2 calories, according to the UDSA Nutrient Data Laboratory. This includes both California and Florida varieties. When comparing whole fruits, however, the Florida variety has fewer calories by weight because it contains more water than the California variety.

yes

The color of avocado is green.

yes

it took ten years for the avocado to grow.

I think a Plantine is a banana, this is partly because bananas grow on plants, not trees, so that's where the PLANT comes from but am not sure bout the ine on the end

yes but it won't be as good as when it is ripe

I would try to use a cut avocado by the next day; maybe it would still be good the day after. It keeps better if you leave the pit in the cut half. The cut surface might turn dark, but you can scrape that off. Or try sprinkling lemon juice on the cut part before you refrigerate the leftover. Surprisingly, mashed avocado (like guacamole) freezes very well, but only if you make sure that no air remains in the freezer bag.

Avocados are absent of starch and have a low sugar content.

Yes, it's a dicot.

Need to know how much avocado to use instead of butter in a recipe....do I use half butter half avocado or no butter

Yup, mine loved the stuff! But make sure they don't eat to much, it will give them tummy ache.

Take some citrus, lemon or lime, juice and coat the avacado with it. The citric acid will keep it from turning brown. (Works on apples, too!) Cover with saran wrap, as to keep it from being exposed to the air, or my favorite way, eat it.

They can give you a stomach ache, but you are probably not in any danger. Unripe apples are tough and hard to digest. They can also be very tasty, which is why some people know that stomach aches may follow eating them.

No, avocado does not give a person cholesterol since it is a plant food source. Only foods derived from animals, particularly the fatty portions of meat, internal organs, egg from any animal be it aquatic, fowl or mammal, and other products which come from animals like whole milk and cheese may contribute to the cholesterol in the blood.

Avocado has several vitamins and specially vitamin E ,which is good for skin,it has great tendency to reduce wrinkles,helps to retain moisture in skin and makes skin tighter .Applying avocado paste on skin is a great skin rejuvenating mask.

The pulpy fruit of Persea gratissima, a tree of tropical America. It is about the size and shape of a large pear; -- called also avocado pear, alligator pear, midshipman's butter.

Avocado's are rich in vitamins and minerals like most fruits and vegetables when digested. Although there are a few wive's tales that rubbing this on your scalp will improve hair growth(or sell you on a 20 dollar shampoo bottle). Water-soluble vitamins aren't absorbed through the skin. There is no scientific evidence to prove this and for that reason subjects the statement to complete idiocracy. Vitamin D is fat-soluble or synthesized in the skin when UVB rays are in contact from the sun, almost 2 layers of skin deep. Unless you had an opening in the skin, you would serve less nutritional value rubbing avocados on your head than if you ate it. Certain vitamins in avocados like pantothenic acid have been shown to reduce gray hair in animals and folic acid which helps in normal growth and maintenance of all cells. Don't be pursuaded by a magical avocado treatment, as these vitamins are more abundant in even more common vegetables like romaine lettuce. Your body is centered around balanced chemical substances, so don't even think that "If some is good, then more is better!" because it isn't true. For example, Calcium and Magnesium help regulate the constriction and relaxation of blood vessels. If too much calcium is present this balance might be affected, the arteries might constrict more than they relax and the blood and oxygen supply to the heart might be reduced resulting from a prolonged situation, heart attack. Consult a physician, eat a healthy balanced diet one that is appropriated to your certain needs and you will feel healthier and get rid of symptoms that are less common like hair loss and obesity in other countries than USA.

Avacados do not give you gas. They give you fat actually because it is a carbohydrate but not gas.

The persin contained in some parts of an avocado is toxic to birds and large animals. It is not toxic, however, to dogs, although some people claim it is.

No, i wouldn't advise it.

You can eat it, but because your skin is allergic, with it being the largest organ on the human body, it is hard to consume something without, actually making contact with, it unless, you use tools like a knife and fork.

You would'nt probably come out in some sort of rash.

avocado is called as alpukat in marathi... makhanphal in hindi

Avocados need a tropical or semi-tropical environment. They are best grown in California, Florida, southern Texas and parts of Mexico. It is a tree that is native to Central Mexico. Here in North Georgia we get frost in the winter, so there are no locally grown avocados up here.
