Are you new to Chennai Moms?

hi,

YES ur US friend is right. Avacado is very good for growing babies as they contain lots of vitamins and minerals esp rich in iron for growing infants. INFACT  I have twin babies and they are 5 and a half months now I started with Avacado during 5 months. They really relish it. You have to peel the ripe avacado put it in a blender with little water or breast milk  and sugar, and serve. never serve when avacado is immediately taken from  the fridge. So far my kids have not got cold nor fever. Well you will get avacado from SKYWALK IN AMJIKARAI the new mall. They have fresh variety. u know i live in Avadi and I get it from here. I TOO searched for this fruit but ultimately i got it. so enjoy the food with ur kids.

regards,

Yes, avocado is butter fruit. I am not sure how good it is for children. It's used for making dips (for nachos!) and desserts/juices in US. There could be more receipes! I think i've seen avacado in pazhamuthir - annanagar. Try nilgiris, spencers, reliance fresh etc.

Hi LM, Butterfruit is the huge green balled fruit. It gives chillness to the body. Butterfruit milkshakes are yummy. If you happen to give this to your kid, make sure you kid gets to drink hot water after coming home. How old is your kid? Do post in some details in your profile pages too, so that it becomes easy for us moms to refer that and give answers. Chill out! Kutty

hey for this long i never knew that butterfruit is called avocado. bhraman what s that u mentioned......making dips (for nachos!) what do you mean by dips and nachos!

Nachos is the mexican snack that we get here (its a famous snack in most of the cinema theatres). It's like chips. They eat it by dipping in sauces (thick ones), cheese etc. Among such dips 'guacamole dip' is made from avocado (not sure about its other ingredients).

I saw avocado in pazhamuthir, annanagar last week. So you can buy it there!

avacado is good for health. it should not be green, it should be ripe,tender to touch.peel it, smash it with ur hands,cut onion ,tomato,in small pieces,each one add to the smashed avacado,add lemon juice little.& salt.if u want add pepper also .it is v yummy.u can add coriander if u wnat.try ur imagination.here we use it when we make qusidea,just like two little chapathis in between stuffed veg. along with salsa.

i ate avocado wen i was in US and jus hate th taste

yes avacados r the best baby food.they contain lot of vitamins that help in the development of brain for babies.i give my baby avacado when she was  5 months.she loves it.till now she is ok.she has not got cold or other symptoms.mix avacado with breast milk and add little sugar and serve.its yummy.

Avacoda has lots of good fat but it tastes very very bland.  A puree of avocado and banana worked with my 11 month old.  I avoid sugar though I do add a lil brown sugar to his ragi.

Hi,

My son is 2.2 and I give him some kid of milk shake in the mornings. Can i also give avacado+almonds and blend it in milk. Can this be given during this season in the mornings or is it better to wait till our Chennai sun shines bright!!!!!. Please advise....

Hi Cmom,

Checked in Nilgiris, they wonder what butter fruit is? Is this available in Murugan stores, Arumbakam. How do i chose the right variety.
