Avocado Week Sponsored by Avocados From Mexico

Over here at Brighter Bites we’re celebrating Avocado Week again thanks to the incredible support of Avocados From Mexico (AFM). This week we sent home 5,100 pounds of avocados grown in Mexico to 5,750 families in Houston, Dallas, and Austin, TX.

These families tasted our new avocado-filled Cauliflower Ceviche recipe, took home nutrition education information about avocados (created by AFM and Brighter Bites), and received 2-3 avocados donated by Henry Avocado in Houston and Mission Produce in Austin and Dallas. And thanks to Mann’s for donating cauliflower in Austin and Dallas for those families to make the Cauliflower Ceviche recipe they tasted at pick up. Brighter Bites is grateful to the generosity of these produce industry leaders for joining us in our mission to create communities of health through fresh food.

We’ll have more Avocado Weeks later this semester to ensure all 20,000+ Brighter Bites families in Houston, Dallas, Austin, New York City, Washington, D.C., and Southwest Florida receive Mexican-grown avocados too.
