In a statement to the media, Vilma Juodkazienė, a food expert at the retail chain Iki, says that the popularity of avocados is determined by many excellent properties.
Although avocados are called the 21st century. Fruit, as it became especially popular in the world with the millennial generation for whom food should be healthy and beautiful, they were known about 7,000 years ago. The first avocado trees originated in Mexico and Colombia, where they still account for the majority of exports. Later, they spread to other countries and are still cultivated successfully.

“I choose avocados that are dark green with rough skin, they are the most nutritious. It is also important to note that avocados do not overripe. I recommend storing ripe avocados in the refrigerator, and those that still need a bit of ripening, at temperature environment, wrapped in paper ”, says V. Juodkazienė.
Recipes
How to produce
1. Toast the bread. Make sure it’s nice and crispy. While the bread is toasting, fry the almond and sesame dishes in a dry frying pan.
2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, make vertical incisions on each side of the avocado and remove the pieces of pulp with a spoon. Squeeze lemon juice over them; this will stop the browning of the avocado and add great flavor.
3. Spread avocado on toast slices. Sprinkle generously with salt (it perfectly enhances the avocado flavor and adapts to citric acid), a little chili and nuts, seeds, mini veggies, or other prepared additives. Chew on this creamier (from the word “creamy”) toast and crunchier (paradoxically!).
If you are expecting guests, you can serve the avocado DIY style. Season the avocado halves with lemon juice, salt, nuts, seeds, etc., leaving a knife to the side. Guests can decide for themselves how much avocado they want to spread on toast. And without the added spread of accessories, I like a clean floor.
