The avocado has had a real hype in recent years. In all possible variations, often as guacamole, salad, or simply on bread, it is called a superfood and eaten with pleasure. Known as aguacate in Spain, it is also available here on virtually every corner. It is rather rare to find the green butterfruit in a duet with grainy cream cheese, also known as cottage cheese in southern climes. However, this is inexplicable to me, because the two things complement each other excellently! So below is a vanlife-worthy recipe that combines avocado with cottage cheese and freshly baked rolls from the Omnia camping oven. If you don’t like it, you really can’t help yourself.
Avocado cultivation and water (shortage)
As delicious and healthy as the avocado is, its cultivation on an industrial scale is critical. It requires an extremely large amount of water. Up to one cubic meter (1,000 liters) of water is needed for two to three fruits (about 1 kg). In view of the persistent drought in the growing regions of southern Europe, it is difficult to consume avocados in large quantities. So it’s a matter of balancing and alternating the delicious tropical fruits with regional vegetables. Unfortunately, avocados imported from South America are no better in terms of their carbon footprint.
This one has it all: Nutritional values of the avocado
Especially the unsaturated fatty acids are very valuable for the diet. but the avocado also contains quite a bit of fiber. In combination, avocado and cottage cheese are a dynamic duo.
