Celebrate the cultura you love with the food that’s always with you: avocados.
Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the traditions that connect us to our roots and to each other. The música that gets everyone dancing. The recipes passed from one generation to the next. The sobremesas that keep us around the table a little longer. And, of course, the foods and flavors that always feel like home.
For many Hispanic families, aguacates are part of those moments. Sliced over tacos, added to a bowl of pozole, mashed into guacamole or even blended into a refreshing drink, their creamy texture and delicious flavor make them an easy addition to the foods we already know and love.
And there’s even more to celebrate: fresh avocados bring valuable nutrition to the table, too.
Nutrición You Crave. Cultura You Love.
Our favorite cultural foods can be part of a nutritious eating pattern. In fact, embracing familiar ingredients can be a delicious way to keep traditions alive while bringing more nutrient-dense foods to the family table.
Fresh avocados are a nutrient-dense fruit with nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.
One serving, or one-third of a medium avocado (50 g), provides:
- 3 grams of fiber, making avocados a good source of fiber
- 6 grams of unsaturated fat
- 10% of the Daily Value for folate, making avocados a good source of folate
- 10% of the Daily Value for vitamin K
- 6% of the Daily Value for potassium
- 6% of the Daily Value for vitamin E
- And the list goes on.
Fresh avocados are also naturally free of sodium, cholesterol and added sugar. That means adding aguacate to the foods your family already enjoys is a simple way to bring flavor, creamy texture and beneficial nutrients to the table.
Tradiciones That Bring Us Together
Food tells a story. A recipe can remind us of where we grew up, who taught us to cook or the celebrations we looked forward to as kids.
During Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrate those stories by gathering around foods you love. Make an old family favorite exactly the way abuela taught you, or create a new tradition by giving a familiar dish your own avocado-inspired twist.
Because cultura isn’t only something we remember. It’s something we continue to create, and pass along.
¡Salud! Raise a Glass to Cultura
The flavors we love aren’t limited to the dinner plate. Tropical fruits, cinnamon and other familiar Latin-inspired flavors can come together with creamy avocado for drinks the whole family can enjoy.
Try an Avocado Banana Horchata-Style Smoothie, a twist on a traditional drink that is also a good source of fiber and calcium.
Or bring tropical sabor to the celebration with an Avocado Piña Colada Mocktail or refreshing Avocado Mango Frozen Slushie.
Turn up the música, pour something delicious and enjoy the moment together.

From One Generation to the Next
Our traditions live on because we share them.
Maybe it’s teaching the kids how to make guacamole. Maybe it’s cooking a recipe you remember from childhood. Or maybe it’s simply gathering around the table, putting on your favorite música and enjoying a meal together.
This Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrate the flavors that tell your family’s story while creating new memories for the next generation.
Más cultura. Más familia. Más aguacates.
Because when delicious traditions also bring valuable nutrients to the table, there’s even more to celebrate.
Nutrición You Crave. Cultura You Love.
