Did you know avacados are one of the most nutritious fruits on the planet...
and no waste...once you peel it, rub the avadado skin on your face and leave the pulp on for awhile for an awesome facial, will leave your skin feeling like you have been to a spa
Mash avacado with a little mayonaise, (and dash of lemon and garlic if desired) for a NUTRIENT packed spread for your tomatoe/veggie sandwiches...mmmmmm!
"Nutritionally the avocado leads all other fruits in beta carotene and even exceeds the banana in potassium. While other fruits gain sugar as they ripen, the avocado's sugar content decreases as it matures. It contains more protein, potassium, magnesium, folic acid, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, biotin, pantothenic acid, vitamin E, and vitamin K per ounce than any other fruit."

LOL!
How did I miss this!
I say this is the best advice ever given on TJ, spiritually and physically, bar none! :announcementfly:
For those who might not know, the "Spirit of God" (ref Matt 3:16)
simply means 'a current of air, that is breath'
Breathe GOD! :heart-animated:

Hallo you all!
Did you know that capsicums contain more vitamin c than an orange?
And do you know that they come in more than just three colours? Green, red and yellow are very well known, but they are also in brown and purple and orange - it all depends on when they are harvested. I haven't seen the purple or brown yet.
Isn't God's creation fun?
God bless you all!

just in addition to the above:
that info was given on a cook-show.
and here is some info off the internet about capsicums:
Capsicum refers to a wide variety of tropical pepper plants with the genus of the same name. The name is perhaps derived from the Latin "capsa," or box for the pod-like fruit. Capsicum also refers to the fruit produced by any of these plants, in particular the dried fruits that are typically used in medicine and as condiments.
Common names for these plants are cayenne, cayenne pepper, chili pepper, paprika, peppers, pimiento, red pepper, sweet pepper, aji dulce, Hungarian pepper, and Mexican pepper.
The original habitat is unknown but the plants are probably native to the tropics. They are found in many places, including China, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Hawaii, Europe, India, Iraq, Malaya, Mexico, Philippines, Samoa, Spain, Tonga and the U.S.
Cayenne or Capsicum takes its name from the Greek, 'to bite,' a reference to the hot pungent properties of the fruits and seeds. The plant was described by Linnaeus as C. frutescens proper. Introduced from India into Britain in 1548, the plant was already being cultivated. It appeared in 1771 in Miller's Garden Dictionary.
The fruits contain 0.1 - 1.5% capsaicin, a substance which stimulates the circulation and alters temperature regulation. Applied topically, capsaicin desensitizes nerve endings and makes a good local anesthetic. The seed contains capsicidins, which are thought to have antibiotic properties.
The dried fruit has no narcotic effect but as a powerful local stimulant, it is effective in dilating blood vessels and relieving chronic congestion. Due to its high vitamin C content, it is said to be good at warding off disease.
Used externally as a pack or liniment, it stimulates circulation, aids the removal of waste products, and increases the flow of nutrients to the tissues. It is also said to relieve muscle spasms, bursitis, shingles, and diabetic neuropathy. Powdered and placed inside socks, it is a traditional remedy for cold feet.
The fruit is also said to have antihemorrhoidal, antiseptic, and antirheutmatic properties and to be good for digestive, sinus, and stomach conditions. In the tropics, they also serve as food preservatives.
The fruit can be used raw or cooked. It is normally used as a flavoring. The fruit can also be dried and ground into a powder for use as a flavoring. The seeds are also dried, ground and used as a pepper and the leaves can be cooked as a potherb.
There are no known hazards associated with the species, but some plants in this family produce toxins in their leaves while the sap of the plant can cause skin to blister.
Enjoy!
