Avocado’s Health Benefits ! Did you know Avocado contains more potassium than a banana? Additionally, there’s No cholesterol, No trans fats, It’s the “good fat” -Monounsaturated fat. Avocados provide more than 25 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins, and folic acid. So eat more Avocado! Ounce per ounce, avocados rank highest in the following phytochemicals and nutrients among the top 20 most frequently consumed fruits: Lutein – protects against prostate cancer and eye disease such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Vitamin E – a powerful antioxidant known to slow the aging process and protect against heart disease and various forms of cancer. Glutathione – functions as an antioxidant like vitamin E to neutralize free radicals that can cause cell damage and lead to disease. Beta-sitosterol– lowers blood cholesterol levels. Avocados contain for times as much beta-sitosterol as oranges. Monounsaturated fats – heart healthy fats proven to help lower LDL (bad) cholesterols and boost HDL (good) cholesterol. Folate – promotes healthy cell and tissue development and lowers homocysteine levels that may reduce risk of Alzheimer’s and heart disease. Folate is especially important for women of childbearing age as it help protect against birth defects. Fiber – lowers cholesterol and reduces risk of heart attack. Potassium – helps balance the body’s electrolytes. Avocados contain 60 percent more potassium than bananas. Magnesium – helps produce energy and is important for muscle contraction and relaxation. el Pasado UHP Guacamoles el Pasado Chunky Avocado Pulp: 6/2lb:Code #: 6129324 :Ingredients: 100% Mexican Hass Avocado. 65 day Shelf Life. el Pasado Pico De Gallo Guacamole: 6/2lb Code#: 9410713 :Ingredients: Mexican Hass avocado, Tomato, onion, jalapeno, Salt, Cilantro, and Garlic. 70 day Shelf Life Ultra High Pressure (UHP) – What is it? How does it work? During UHP, foods are placed under 87,000 psi. This UHP process kills micro-organisms by interrupting their cellular functions. They can’t take the pressure! Even better, UHP works without the use of heat that can damage the taste, texture, and nutritional value of the food. It’s like “Cold pasteurization”. Since spoilage organisms are also destroyed, many foods will actually stay fresher longer, which is good news for consumers. But . . . Why aren’t the foods crushed? UHP is based on “Hydrostatic pressure” which is equal pressure from every direction. It doesn’t create shear force to distort food particles. Thus, any moist food such as a whole Avocado can be exposed to these very high pressures without being crushed. One of the unique advantages of UHP is that pressure transmission is instantaneous and uniform. It is effective throughout the food items, from the surface through to the center!
