<p><strong>West Des Moines, IA</strong><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Hy-Vee has dubbed California Avocados this summer’s tasty and nutritious “green alternative” for dips, toppings, condiments, and garnishes in salads, omelets, and sandwiches. Grown in San Diego County, CA, known as the nation’s avocado capital, California avocados house an outstanding array of nutrients including heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, vitamin E, potassium, and magnesium. Avocados are rich, spreadable, and naturally free of sodium and cholesterol, making them excellent substitutes for foods high in saturated fat, including traditional condiments and dips.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">California avocados are available year round, with a peak season from spring through fall. Consumers should look for avocados that are free of bruises and still firm and faintly green, and allow them to ripen at home at room temperature. The California Avocado Commission supports Hy-Vee’s promotion of California avocados and encourages shoppers to pick up a few avocados during their next trip down the produce aisle.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://www.hy-vee.com/" target="_new"> Hy-Vee</a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
