Guacamole

Mexican food · avocados · dips and spreads

Made from avocados. Guacamole's main ingredient is the avocado, a creamy green fruit that grows on trees. When you mash up ripe avocados and mix them with other ingredients like lime juice, salt, and tomatoes, you get this tasty dip.

Born in Mexico. Guacamole was first created in Mexico, where avocados have been grown for hundreds of years. It's become such an important part of Mexican cooking that you'll find it at almost every Mexican meal today.

Now worldwide. What started as a Mexican favorite has spread across the whole world. Today, people in many countries enjoy guacamole as a dip, a spread on sandwiches, or mixed into salads.

Smooth and creamy. The best guacamole has a smooth, creamy texture that makes it perfect for dipping chips or spreading on food. The natural creaminess comes straight from the avocado itself, with no need for any added cream or butter.
