The History of the Avocado

We know what you’re thinking — do you really require a history lesson to prepare avocado-based recipes for your Super Bowl party? Well, consider this a history lesson with a twist because there are some interesting stats when it comes to avocado consumption in early February.

But let’s begin at the beginning. The avocado is a fruit that originates from Central America and Mexico. It has been cultivated there since as far back as 500 B.C., when it was used in religious ceremonies and as a symbol of fertility. Avocado spread throughout the region, eventually making its way to Europe through Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century and then North America in the 19th century. It was in the 20th century that avocado began to become more widely consumed and its popularity soared with the advent of guacamole.

Guacamole has a long and rich history that dates back centuries. It is believed to have originated in the Aztec Empire in Mexico, where it was made from mashed avocados, tomatoes, onions, chiles, and other seasonings. It became popular in the United States during the 1920s and 30s when it was served at the famous New York restaurant El Chico. Today, guacamole is a popular side dish or dip served all over at restaurants and about nine out of ten Super Bowl parties (or thereabouts).

It’s no surprise then, that leading up to Super Bowl Sunday, people around the United States acquire an estimated about 26 million individual avocados in preparation for their Super Bowl parties. So it’s safe to say that if you’re hosting a Super Bowl party, avocados will definitely be making an appearance. That said, keep in mind a few things: first, unless you are buying ripe avocadoes, which can often be more expensive, be sure to go to your market or local grocery store a week before the big game to give your avos time to ripen. Secondly, there will likely be a weekend rush to the grocery store to grab any soft-ish avocado available. So, again, be sure to plan ahead and get what you need in advance to eliminate game-day stress.

Authentic Guacamole

We have to start with the best guacamole recipe because it’s the most common avocado-based recipe served at Super Bowl parties. And If you have yet to serve authentic, homemade guacamole, then now is the time to start. With a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can create a delicious and healthy snack that will pretty much be guaranteed to please all of your Super Bowl guests. Now, there is some debate about whether to add tomatoes to guacamole or whether you should leave the tomatoes to the salsa. When it comes to authenticity, we’re on the side of no tomatoes. But if you’re pro-tomatoes when it comes to guacamole, then, hey, it’s your Super Bowl party. And authentic, homemade guacamole is basically required at Super Bowl parties these days, so definitely get this avocado-based classic (with or without tomatoes) on your Super Bowl party menu.

Avocado Mango Salsa

If you choose to add another dip to the Super Bowl party menu, then we recommend avocado mango salsa. Avocado mango salsa is a delicious and flavorful dish made with ripe avocados and fresh mangoes. It’s great as a dip with tortilla chips and can be the perfect topping for tacos, burritos, and tostadas. The combination of creamy avocado and sweet mango creates a delicious balance of flavors, the avocado adds a hint of richness, and the mango has a hint of sweetness. This salsa is incredibly easy to make and can be enjoyed as a nice pairing with some other dishes on the big game menu.

Avocado Melba Toast

We’ve all heard of avocado toast, and we’ve all likely made fun of the ridiculous prices that local brunch spots charge for avocado toast, but all jokes aside, avocado toast can be a great Super Bowl-watching snack that hits the spot. And it’s incredibly easy to make. All you need is some Melba crackers and ripe avocados, and you can get creative with the toppings. For example, try adding a little bacon or roasted tomatoes for a delicious flavor combination. Or if you want to keep things simple, just mash up an avocado and season it with salt and pepper. The possibilities are pretty much endless when it comes to avocado toast.

Avocado Fries

If you’re looking for an alternative snack that’s a bit more decadent than guacamole or avocado toast, then try making some avocado fries. All you need isa few large ripe avocadoes, breadcrumbs, an egg, and some oil. The batter is simple to make and requires just a few ingredients. Once your avocado fries are fried up, serve with a side of ranch or mayo for dipping. Your guests will love the crispy, crunchy texture of the fries as well as their creamy, rich flavor.

Avocado Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are another classic Super Bowl party snack that can be easily made with avocados. Served as an appetizer or a side dish, they’re easily made by boiling eggs, slicing them in half, and removing the yolks. The yolks are then mashed with other ingredients such as mayonnaise, mustard, and spices to create a creamy filling. The filling is then piped or spooned back into the egg whites and garnished with paprika or chives. For our avocado-based deviled eggs, all you need to do is mash up a ripe avocado and mix it in with the other ingredients for your deviled egg filling. Your guests will love the addition of the creamy avocado in this classic Super Bowl snack.
