Practice Green Eating - Celebrate September 16 - National Guacamole Day

- All-natural with no preservatives, Wholly Guacamole makes Celebrating Easy -

FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- An estimated fifty-percent of
all Americans skip at least one meal a week and graze on snack foods instead.
Pre-packaged foods promote grab-and-go eating, but calories and nutrition are
considerations. Enter guacamole -- it's a super-snack loaded with nutrition.
"Mashed or sliced, avocados are packed with more than 20 vitamins,
minerals and 60-percent more potassium than bananas," states Marcia Walker,
Nutritionist and High Pressure Processing Food Scientist at Wholly Guacamole,
the leading guacamole maker in the U.S., http://www.whollyguac.com.
Food Holidays celebrate anything from ice cream to hot dogs. Embrace
"green eating" September 16 -- dip into some all-natural guacamole. Whether
you make-it-yourself or grab pre-made from your grocery's fresh produce
section, fresh guacamole is healthy eating, adding fruit and vitamins to your
daily intake.
Top reasons to Eat More Guac-

-- It's Rich in History. Originally reserved only for the wealthy and
kings, guacamole was invented by the Aztecs as a nutritious snack.
-- Skinny Jeans. The "good fats" in avocados effectively reduce
cholesterol levels. Three tablespoons of all-natural guacamole with a
handful of carrots has 94 calories -- that's less than a cup of
low-fat milk!
-- It fights cancer. Researchers at Ohio State University's Comprehensive
Cancer Center say that avocados have cancer fighting power against
oral, prostate and possibly other types of cancer.
-- Preservative and Salmonella Free. High Pressure Processing (HPP) used
on Wholly Guacamole kills pathogens and harmful bacteria including
Salmonella, allows the guac to be preservative free, and keeps it fresh
for 42 days!
-- It's "Famous". Wholly Guacamole premieres on Food Network's UnWrapped
September 1. "Dip It - CW 1801" airs 9 p.m. EDT and will repeat.

HPP, our GuacMobile and more. (Check local listings for airtimes).
