Guacamole is an avocado-based dip that originated with the Aztecs in Mexico. In addition to its use in modern Mexican cuisine it has also become part of American cuisine as a dip, condiment and salad ingredient. ( Source:wikipedia). Avocados are an excellent source of many nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin K and folate. They are a very good source of vitamin B6, pantotheinic acid, and potassium, and a good source of niacin, riboflavin, and many minerals.
Avocados are high in monounsaturated fat, a heart-healthy oil which may have other health benefits as well. Avocados are also rich in phytonutrients, including lutein and other carotenoids, which can help protect cells from damage.(Source: About.com)
