A nutritional look at SlimCados from Florida

Variety, the spice of life

Got it made in the shade - SlimCado

Apply that to avocados and you've got a winning addition to your salads, creamy soups, smoothies and toast. SlimCados, grown in southern Florida for over 85 years, are the perfect way to add avocado variety to your life .

Three times the size of a Hass
avocado, naturally

SlimCados are a great- tasting avocado with a lighter taste.

How much lighter?
It naturally has half the fat and a third the calories of a Hass avocado. Yet it still delivers a creamy, almost buttery taste.

What the numbers mean

This avocado naturally has less fat, which in turn, means fewer calories. In fact, a full cup of SlimCado weighs in at only 275 calories!

But the nutritional news doesn't stop there. The SlimCado has a variety of nutrients.

Considering what you should be eating in your daily diet, one cup of this avocado delivers a whopping

67% of vitamin C

31% of vitamin E

20% of folate

23% of potassium

52% or 12 grams of fiber

And to top it off, SlimCados still deliver the "good" monounsaturated fats we've come to expect in avocados.

A variety of ways to enjoy

Guacamole, of course

SlimCados are enjoyed in a variety of ways - tossed in a salad, topping a creamy soup, or grilled with a touch of olive oil. Of course, it's perfect cut in half and squirted with lime.

Slice to top salads

Grown throughout the Caribbean and Florida, this is the go-to avocado used in everyday Hispanic and island-influenced cooking.

With its light flavor, ranging from buttery to nutty, this large, glossy-skinned fruit is perfect on salads, both leafy and creamy.

Avocado toast - simple, or add humus for a different taste

If it's the latest trend you seek, take wildly popular avocado toast up a notch with a smear of hummus, thinly sliced red onion and capers. The SlimCado won't fight with these other big-flavor ingredients.

Chop to top creamy soups

Like any avocado, SlimCados are ready for eating when soft to the touch.

Power shakes made delectable

Drink green; SlimCados make power smoothies delectable

What about a power shake?

Normally you wouldn't add an avocado to a smoothie, much less a power shake. But you could add a SlimCado.

Its lighter taste blends nicely with other flavors. And if it's power drink time, this avocado nicely takes the edge off kale, a favorite power ingredient.
