Wholly Avocado! Is It a Fruit or a Vegetable?

27/06/07 Are you eating healthy this summer? June is National Fruit and Vegetable month and it's not too late to join the fun! What better way to celebrate than with 100 percent natural, healthy guacamole -- it's not only great tasting, it's good for you too.

Fact -- Yes, it's green, but an avocado is a fruit -- not a vegetable.

Fact -- You need five servings of fruit and vegetables each day to be healthy and strong.

Cool Fact -- Guacamole is a great way to get your recommended daily nutrients.

Avocados are super good for you. Mashed or sliced, they help lower your cholesterol and are high in potassium and lots of other vitamins and nutrients. In fact, three tablespoons of 100 percent natural guacamole has fewer calories than a cup of low-fat milk! Try guac as a delicious low-calorie spread on your favorite sandwich or a cool healthy snack with carrot sticks.

In honor of National Fruit and Vegetable Month, America's #1 Brand of Guacamole is throwing a "guac-tacular" party. Consumers made us their favorite (according to A.C. Nielsen) and except for our nickname -- "guac-in-a-box" -- no one knows us. So, this summer we're giving consumers a chance to call us names! We've designed a new website, http://www.guacparty.com, for guacfans to play games, enter to win prizes and-most importantly -- vote on a new name for our yummy guacamole. As a tasty reward, voters will instantly receive a bounce-back e-coupon for a bogo "free-box of guac-in-the-box!" And watch out, our GuacMobile is traveling to a grocery store near you. "Chip and Flip" a.k.a. "The Guac Squad" will be there to deliver samples of our yummy guacamole, free recipes, t-shirts and fun via our Wuac-a-Mole-le game!

Next time you're at the grocery store, stop by the fresh produce or refrigerated deli sections for a box of America's #1 Brand of Guacamole. Formerly known as AvoClassic, our boxes nationwide now sport a snappy new look ... and soon, a new name too.
