Avocado butter, also known as poor's mans butter. Butter - because it has very high fat contents just like any butter/magarine. Poor man - bcos back in the early days, the poor cannot afford the cultured butter from milk. But ironically, Poor man's butter turns out to be a healthy choice as compared to culture butter made from milk fats.

Butter is a warehouse for saturated fats and excess of it is dangerous (google to find out why and how!) Therefore it is better to avoid sat. fats! As for magarine, it has reduced sat. fats, has high poly unsaturated fats. However, both contains transfats!

But not for Avocado butter. It contains mono and poly unsaturated fats, and no transfats and no cholesterol! But for those of you who are watching your waistline, good fats are fats after all, but they are a much better substitute for your butter and magarine.

Tastewise - It does taste oily like any butter, but instead of the salty taste that you get from normal butter due to the added salt content, Avocado butter taste more leafy and gives a very refreshing taste (served chilled).

How to make?

2 medium riped avocado - scooped out the flesh and dump it into a blender.
2 Tbspcup fresh lemon or lime juice into the blender
2 Tbsp of olive oil
4 tsp. of sugar (Optional)
4 Tsp. of salt
