In addition to culinary recipes, this volume shows how to make a nourishing hair and skin treatment from its flesh, and a pinky-peach fabric dye from the stone.

Did you know Avocados contain around 20 minerals and vitamins which are essential to good health? But a medium avocado contains more calories than a Mars bar? Who cares? They're delicious and can be used in everything from salad to soup. And make a fabulous face mask!

Super Food: Avocado contains

Feature spreads - covering the history of avocados, plus health benefits, how to use avocado to dye fabric and grow your own.

Delicious food and drink recipes - from snacks, starters, mains and desserts. Enjoy a bacon and egg baked avocado with a mango, avocado and spinach smoothie for breakfast!


Health and beauty recipes - make your hands beautiful with an avocado, olive oil and lemon treatment, or brighten dull skin with an avocado exfoliant.
