The kind that makes you cry…just kidding! Traditional guacamole recipes use sweet white onions. Red onions give your guac a more pungent bite (and color). Yellow onions are milder and add some good texture and moderate sweetness to guacamole.
Avocado Basics
Real fundamental stuff, like “Cogito ergo sum avocadum.”
Avocado is a fruit (a berry, to be precise), but don’t let that stop you from grabbing a bowl of guac when Mom tells you to eat your greens. Avocados have a seed and grow on trees from the ovary of a flowering plant, which are characteristics of fellow fruits. In fact, an avocado is technically a superfood, meaning its super good flavor is super good for you, too.
