Fascinating Facts ๐๐ผ
๐ฅ Ancient Origins โ Guacamole dates back to the Aztecs, who called it ahuacamolli (literally โavocado sauceโ). Its rich history makes it one of the oldest continually enjoyed dishes in the Americas.
๐ฅ Avocado Powerhouse โ Avocados are loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, and vitamins C, E, K, and B6 โ making guacamole both delicious and nourishing.
๐ฅ Molcajete Magic โ Traditional guacamole is prepared in a molcajete, a volcanic-rock mortar and pestle. The stone surface releases more natural oils from the ingredients, creating a deeper, more complex flavor.
