Guacamole, often referred to as "guac," is a creamy and flavorful dip rooted in Mexican cuisine. Traditionally made from ripe avocados, lime juice, salt, and cilantro, it’s sometimes enhanced with ingredients like tomatoes, onions, garlic, or chili peppers. Avocados are the star of guacamole, offering heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and an array of vitamins and minerals, including potassium and vitamin E. Lime juice not only adds zesty flavor but provides a dose of vitamin C. Though guacamole is nutrient-rich, portion size matters; avocados are calorie-dense, and some recipes may contain added sodium. Its simplicity and wholesome ingredients make guacamole a versatile and healthy option that pairs well with veggies, whole-grain crackers, or as a topper for dishes—just be mindful of any accompanying chips that might add excess refined carbs or sodium. Enjoy guac as part of a balanced diet!
