People eat Avocado everywhere in the world. I do not think there’s anyone who’d say he doesn’t know about the Avocado. It is one of my favorite. Sometimes I enjoy eating it with bread. What I do is to scoop out the butter with a spoon and apply the paste over my bread. With a cup of coffee, breakfast is set. Anyway, I’m here to start teaching you how to eat the Avocado, instead I want to tell you how to make a nutritious Avocado pap. But before I tell you, I will want to start with a brief history about the Avocado.

About the Avocado

The word Avocado comes from the Nahuatl (The language of the Aztecs) “ahuacatl” which means testicle, because of its shape. It is a fruit from Central and South America.

The Avocado is a special kind of pear that is dense and  evergreen tree, shedding many leaves in early spring. It is fast growing and can with age reach 80 feet, although usually less, and generally branches to form a broad tree. Some cultivars are columnar, others selected for nearly prostrate form. One cultivar makes a good espalier. The Avocado is hard and green when unripe but softens and darkens a bit when it becomes ripe.

How to make Avocado pap

Making a nutritious Avocado pap is not any difficult. The following are the simple steps involved:

• Step1: Pluck or buy four or five Avocado fruit (or more if you desire larger quantity. But note that the Avocados must be ripe).
• Step2: Take your knife and cut each of the avocados in half vertically.
• Step3: Twist the two sides apart, exposing the pit inside.
• Step4: Remove the pit with a spoon or knife.
• Step5: With the same spoon, scoop out all the yellowish butter inside the Avocados into a round plate. When you’ve done that, transfer them into a blender.
• Step6: Add milk, honey and a little water (preferably three tea spoons of water).
• Step7: Start blending. Allow for two minutes before stopping the blender.

If you did not add honey you’d have a light green pap, but if you added honey the color will change, nearly taking the color of honey.

Serve your nutritious Avocado pap and enjoy. If it’s your first time, you’d be tempted to prepare it again. But why should you consider the Avocado pap?
