Avocados Or Onions?

As a fruity political conversation brings the two centre stage, health-watchers hide a smile

We have sung nursery rhymes about oranges and lemons. We have been told that it바카라s healthier to be a pear than an apple when it comes to body shape. We have compared apples to oranges, only to find that it바카라s not the smartest thing to do.

The elitist barb

Chidambaram was reacting to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman바카라s comments during a discussion on soaring onion prices in the Lok Sabha: 바카라The Finance Minister said yesterday that she doesn't eat onions. So what does she eat? Does she eat avocado?"

Breakfast or brunch, starter or dessert, topped with seasoning or paired with exotics바카라have a slice of avocado or two. It바카라s one of the world's trendiest foods in the new millennium and a staple of adventurous foodies. The ridiculously expensive (and also environmentally taxing) fruit has taken the world of Instagram by storm.

To those in the nutrition space, however, avocados are not that different from onions. Something wholesome binds them together. That바카라s because, both avocados and onions fall under the same category: 바카라the world바카라s healthiest foods.바카라

Here바카라s what both avocados and onions have in common:
