National Guacamole Day Today is National Guacamole Day! We all know and love guacamole as a party snack, but theres more to guacamole than meets the eye. Guacamole is made from avocados, which are packed with more than twenty vitamins, contain good fats that reduce cholesterol, can help fight cancer, and can be used as a substitute for butter or shortening in baking. You can purchase pre-made guacamole at your local supermarket or buy some ripe avocados to make your own. Cinco de Mayo, Fourth of July, Super Bowl Sunday, and Easter each account for approximately five percent of annual avocado sales. Have no fear, avocado trees produce up to 400 fruits a year so there should be plenty to go around. Happy National Guacamole Day!
