Guacamole has been linked to improvements in heart health, skin and hair health, as well as aiding in weight loss, cancer prevention, and strengthening the immune and digestive systems.
A Delight with a Rich History
The history of this tasty treat dates back to the Aztec Empire in Central America around the year 1500. Avocados were one of the favorite fruits of the region, and the Aztecs loved their "ahuaca-mulli" or avocado mixture.
The Spaniards also adored this delicacy, but they couldn't pronounce the name correctly. This flavorful mixture originally included avocados, tomatoes, and chilies, but over the years, the Spaniards added their own ingredients, such as onions, cilantro, and lime juice.
Over time, the Spanish pronunciation changed the name of this dish to guacamole.
Since Spaniards had difficulty cultivating avocados in Spain, guacamole became a very popular Mexican food in America. Today, guacamole sales are continually increasing because it is very healthy and extremely delicious.
