Avocados from Mexico Taps Chef Pati Jinich
Avocados From Mexico has expanded its ongoing collaboration with the American Diabetes Association by enlisting Chef Pati Jinich to develop a collection of diabetes-friendly recipes that incorporate the brand's signature fruit while honoring traditional Mexican flavors. This initiative responds to the disproportionate prevalence of diagnosed diabetes among Hispanic adults compared to non-Hispanic white adults.
The diabetes-friendly recipes deliver a culturally relevant resource that empowers families to make health-conscious choices without abandoning the dishes they love. For this project, Chef Pati Jinich draws on personal experience helping family members navigate diabetes diagnoses. She has proposed diabetes-friendly recipes such as Lime Rubbed Chicken Tacos with Corn Guacamole, Avocado and Radish Salad, and an Avocado Egg Scramble with Greens, Chiles, Scallions, and Tomato. Avocados are also noted for containing no sugar and providing heart-healthy unsaturated fats.
