...There is guacamole and then there is real, authentic guacamole. I guess it all depends on where you are and who you talk to. Just like there are hundreds of types of avocados, there too are several recipes for guacamole. I am of the camp of guacamole makers who uses a hint of garlic and fresh squeezed lime juice to give my guac a bright tang and balanced bite. Then, there are others like the Queen of Mexican cooking Diana Kennedy, who is staunchly against adding lime juice and garlic to guacamole. She believes that the flavor of guacamole should come from serrano chilies (with the seeds,) white onion and cilantro and that the acid should come from freshly chopped tomato not lime. This is a simplistic guacamole. Rich avocados, heat and the bright acidic juice of fresh tomatoes, nothing more and nothing less. Kennedy warns not to mince any of the ingredients, chop the hot pepper, onion, cilantro and tomatoes to retain their juices – mashing will come in due time....

Pere A research study presented to the faculty of Home Economics, Vocational and Technical, Education Department, College of Education, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite in partial fulfilment of the requirements in HRML 24- Research I. Prepared under the supervision of Dr. Editha G. Reyes 1. INTRODUCTION The avocado is colloquially known as the Alligator Pear, reflecting its shape and the leather-like appearance of its skin. Avocado is derived from the Aztec word "ahuacatl". Avocados are the fruit from Persea americana, a tall evergreen tree that can grow up to 65 feet in height. Avocados vary in weight from 8 ounces to 3 pounds depending upon the variety. There are dozens of varieties of avocadoes. The rich and creamy Hass variety is the most popular type of avocado in the United States, and 95% of all avocados grown in the United States are produced in California, original home of the Hass variety. They are generally available throughout the year, they are the most abundant and at their best during the spring and summer in California and in October in Florida. While avocados are technically fruits, we have categorized them here as vegetables since this is how they are usually considered from a culinary perspective. Avocados can make a great base for a high-energy smoothie that will satisfy you and...

Cairns, Australia. 5 – 9 September 2011 AMAP Avocado Marketing and Promotion Working group (former name: AMAPWG) Unique model of global co-operation Presented by: Gabi Naamani Agrexco Tel-Aviv, Israel Sept. 2011, Cairns, Australia AMAP – Unique model of global co-operation Gabi Naamani, Agrexco Tel-Aviv AMAP (former named AMAPWG) – Avocado Marketing and Promotion Working Group - is voluntary organization of Avocado producers and exporters from numerous countries that identified “Mutual interests in developing the Avocado consumption”. The main goal is to develop and extend the Avocado consumption in Europe, along with inspection on domestic markets of the members (plus other markets as well), where applications from one field can be learnt and applied in other. AMAP is a unique model with special inspiration: “Cooperation of competitors” from all over the world, with common understanding that it is much more beneficial “to act together on enlarging the cake than to fight on its slices”. This basic idea was firstly discussed at informal meeting of various exporters during the '4th World Avocado Congress' (Uruapan, Mexico 1999), where it was agreed to meet once a year and to modify numerous existing connections from being 'bi-lateral' to be 'multi-lateral'. Further many steps, for tightening the relationships, were taken in the past dozen years. Nowadays, there is permanent...

...Protein This paper will discuss how proteins contribute to a balanced diet and the discoveries I made when I consciously monitored my caloric intake and specifically the proteins contained within the total intake of calories. Protein is found in every cell in your body and is a necessary part of our diet. Two to three servings of protein each day will help you get the necessary amount of protein, which can help your body's cells and tissues function properly. Protein is an important part of nutrition and different animal and plant sources of protein provide different types of amino acids Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are used to replace old proteins in cells and tissues that have been broken down and need to be replaced. Proteins are biological polymers composed of amino acids. Amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds, form a polypeptide chain. One or more polypeptide chains twisted into a 3-D shape form a protein. Proteins have complex shapes that include various folds, loops, and curves. Folding in proteins happens spontaneously Proteins are made up of amino acids, and they are the “building blocks” of life. Our skin, muscles, tendons, cartilage, even hair and nails, are all because of protein. Protein helps form enzymes, hormones, antibodies and new tissues. It transports important nutrients in and out of those cells. There are nine amino acids known as “essential” amino acids, and therefore must be derived from what we eat. Arginine classified as...

...22 Home Remedies for Acne & Pesky Pimples Your skin is your friend. You like your skin. Your skin likes you. It protects you from the elements and literally keeps you together. You in turn do your best to protect it from any kind of damage. Then, one day, acne rears its ugly head, and you suddenly hate your skin. What do you do then? Turn to harsh chemicals, and expensive scrubs? That’s a fine way to thank a friend who’s been there for you since day one. Your epidermis isn’t at fault here-it can’t help that your hormones are causing all that extra sebum to clog up your pores, or the fact that bacteria is running rampant. If your skin could talk it would say something along the lines of “patience, grasshopper. Treat me right and I shall repay you in kind.” That’s just a guess, anyways. The point is, natural acne remedies are a good way to get rid of it, or at least hold it at bay. They make you step back and really figure out what’s going on with your skin, and how to work with it. Chances are, your skin will repay you in kind for not simply ravaging it with strange chemicals-and your wallet will probably thank you too. 1. Apply some apple cider vinegar Apple cider vinegar is a powerhouse when it comes to acting as an acne remedy. Why? It kills off the bacteria that may be causing all the trouble in the first place. It also becomes alkaline, and balances the pH of your skin, which in turn makes it harder for bacteria to thrive. To top it off it’s an astringent, like lemon...

Last, but not the least, they would want to thank Mrs. Shellah Marie Cruz for her efforts in checking, criticizing, and helping the researchers for the good of their study. TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract 3 Chapter I: Introduction 4 Chapter II: Review of Related Literature 7 Chapter III: Methodology 9 Chapter IV: Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation 11 Chapter V: Generalization 12 Chapter VI: Recommendation 13 Bibliography 14 ABSTRACT The study aims to provide chemists a source of an accurate acid-base/ pH indicator which is abundant and can be found anywhere in order to help them in certain laboratory situations such as identifying whether a solution is an acid or base. Red onion extract was the substance tested. The experiment was done by first determining whether the solutions muriatic acid, bleach and red onion extract are acidic, basic or neutral by dropping a substance of each solution in a pH paper. The pH paper turned purple red for muriatic acid (pH level of 1 according to the pH wheel), olive green for bleach (pH level of 9) and yellow for red onion extract...
