Low Fat Avocados Are Not New, but They Are Pointless
A Spanish fruit company convinces people that they “invented” the fat-free avocado they call “Avocado Light.” However, as the children say, this is “already the case.”
While I’m sure Isla Bonita “analyzed 32 strains in 6 different countries,” I don’t know if they can say they really invented something. Florida avocados (which contain about a third of the fat of Hass avocados) have been around for a long time. (You may have seen them a few years ago under the name SlimCado .)
But who did it first is not the main problem with this fat-free alligator pear; the main problem is they suck. While I haven’t tried this particular variety of low fat cado, I have tried one of these low fat and green fruits before and hated it. It was watery and tasteless, and I asked, “Where is the fat?” It also turned guacamole into shit – a crime horrible enough to be expelled from my kitchen forever. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as it’s the fat that makes the avocado so damn delicious. Save the toast for the real ones, kids. You will be much happier.
