Just because we couldn’t wait for the avocados in our yard to ripen up fast, it’s always a must to include this pear-shaped fruit in my market list. Or else, the kids would fret. I know, many kids or even adults shun the bitter (or no taste) taste of avocados. Not in my household. I am lucky my kids eat fruits and veggies (though the little miss is a less too picky). I guess, they must have seen in us (me and hubs) how we loved to eat fruits especially those what we harvest in our yard…we’re lucky to have lived in a farm where variety of tropical fruits abound.

And, since mangoes are out and some new rainy season fruits were coming in, the kids are happier. It’s avocado time once again..

that's P25/kilo in the market

Avocado’s calories from fat contains monounsaturated fat which is good for hubby to help increase his HDL (good cholesterol) and decreases his LDL (bad cholesterol). I prefer avocado (as in other high fiber fruit), too, to help me with my bouts against constipation.

This little miss enjoyed her avocado mixed with powdered milk and a little sugar. I tell you, she’s excited whenever she sees the fruit in my basket^_^. I’m not complaining even if the powdered milk’s canister emptied too fast. We tried using condensed milk one time, the kids said condensed milk lacked the creaminess powdered milk has. Let the kids be judge!

I never liked the taste of radish (labanos), but with hubby I was “forced” to eat foods that were alien to me in my younger years ^_^

White radish acts as a diuretic agent like the singkamas (turnip), watermelon, young coconut, and many other fruits and veggies that helps us expel more urine out of our system. Due to its nature, it has limited but good nutritional values; Vitamin B, calcium and good source of iron, too.

Radishes can be eaten raw or cooked. Often, we combined it with other veggies for our sinigang.

OR,

When we have fried or grilled fish, hubby would prepare this radish salad cum appetizer. His version of the Mexican guacamole ^_^

Hub’s radish salad:

1 pc white radish

diced onions and tomatoes

slices of jalapeno

shrimp paste (or just plain salt and pepper)

HOW TO:

-peel and julienne the radish

-dip in hot water (not boiling), just to remove its bitter taste

-squeezed out excess water

-AND, mixed all the other ingredients.
