National Guacamole Day is actually celebrated in the USA, but it is also celebrated in Mexico since it originated there.
National Guacamole Day is celebrated by almost all the guac-loving people of the country.
Unfortunately, the official start of this day has not yet been discovered.
It is possible that a group of guac lovers might have thought that guacamole needed a special mention in the list of national food holidays. However, no one has claimed the credit for starting this day.
The origins of National Guacamole Day are a bit unclear as of now. However, the same cannot be said about the actual dish. The traditional guacamole recipe was made using only mashed avocado and sea salt in 16th century Central America. Eventually, Native Americans added onion, garlic, cumin, tomato, cilantro, and lime juice to enhance the flavor. National Guacamole Day was started to acknowledge this nutrient-dense flavorful food that is known to reduce cholesterol.
Although guac can be eaten with almost anything, many Latinas prefer to stick to the traditions of eating guacamole with tortilla chips or corn chips on National Guacamole Day.
You can eat guacamole in many creative ways on National Guacamole Day. You can either spread it in a sandwich or make a tasty salad out of it. There are many ways in which guacamole can be eaten with a snack or a meal. You can also make fresh guacamole at home from some ripe avocados and salt. Adding a few seasonings like cumin, onion, lime juice, and tomatoes might make the homemade guac even tastier. Then, eat it with a salad, some fruit, or slather it onto a snack like a quesadilla. The choice is yours.
Guacamole is a flavorful healthy dip made with avocados that originated in Mexico in the Aztec era. However, the origin of National Guacamole Day has not been discovered yet.
National Guacamole Day is a day dedicated to celebrating the green-colored vitamin-rich avocado dip, guacamole. Guacamole is a versatile and nutritious superfood that can be used as a filling for tacos or a sandwich, as well as a dip for french fries or fruit.
National Guacamole Day falls on the Independence Day of Mexico. Some people choose to celebrate the two days together because they take pride in their nationality, while also wanting to enjoy a day catering to their love of traditional Mexican food, guacamole.
With its origins in Mexico, fresh guacamole made of avocados is very popular in the U.S. too. Conversely, the mystery behind the day's origin has not been resolved yet.
National Guacamole Day falls on September 16 each year, and in 2021, it fell on a Thursday.
