How to source, store and preserve avocados

🥑 🥑🥑AVOCADOS🥑🥑🥑 Oh well 😅, by now, you all know we do not joke with these berries called avocados because... omega 3 fatty acids (lowering cholesterol and brain development for children) and a truck load of other essential nutrients!!! 😍. We put it on everything... well, expect swallow 😩!!! If you have growing children, please do not sleep on avocados 😢. We have it at least 3 times a week and limit it to half or quarter per person per day.
