Q) Avocados rich in Vitamin E? A) Not anymore.

The Haas avocado was once a fruit densely rich with vitamin e

Today, however, most avocados available even if they bear the organic stamp of approval have had their dietary fat bred out of them.  Vitamin E is only soluble in oil which is why they are comonely found as gel tabs.  If you notice the pea sized avocados on the market shelves that when sliced, are neon green and glisten like sweat.  Even though the Haas avocado is actually a hybrid of two other avocados, it was a natural blend which did not take away the nutritive constitution of the food.  As much as 75% of the fitamin e is lost with respect to the percentage lack of oil.  Make sense?

Watch for the quality of facial avocado that is applied to the face in a Palm Springs salon.  If it goes on creamy, then you have a natural avocado loaded with vitamin e and other nutrition the skin loves to absorb.  If your paste is rather gloppy and drips to the floor, you have a watered down version of the fruit.

The reason for hybridizing avocados is so that it can be an year round crop.  Otherwise, there is a three month season in which it takes nine months to go from flower to ripened fruit.  Unfortunately as the seasons march forth, old avocado trees are replaced with productive hybrids so that the farmer can stay in business.  They can’t help but do so and wish they can provide the consumer with their beautiful food they once grew.  The wikepedia description of harvesting avocados is misleading on purpose.  They say that Haas avocados are harvested year round without saying that it is the ultra hybrid or that they may be genetically engineered.  It is in April when a natural Haas avocado is ready to pick.  So look for it in your stores for the months of May and June until you won’t find the delicious creamy ones.  If they’re “wet”, they’re most likely advancing more towards the ultra hybrid department.  Ask your grocer to slice them before finding the ones grown from older trees.  You’ll tell by the normal size of the pit, the rustic green color of the meat, and that they don’t have “strings”.  Most of all, you won’t see your reflection.

Here’s a factoid which you may not have heard. 

The natural fat of the avocado stimulates brown body fat to burn white adipose fat during the night while we sleep.  A mother who has just given birth can restore her original body weight by consuming an avocado or two every few days.  Following the doctrine of signatures, not only does an avocado represent a gestating baby in the womb, but it takes 9 months to grow just like a human baby.  The avocado is an after birthing food that
