Avocado'shave become a trendy staple food for many - but now there's an even nicer way to enjoy them.
The popular and versatile food offers many health benefits as it is packed with healthy fats, fibre, vitamins, and minerals, making them a good addition to a balanced diet.
They also contain high amounts of folate, copper, potassium, Vitamin K and Vitamin E -while boasting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that have even been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease.
So, whether you're pairing them with some poached eggs, mashing them onto a slice of toast or simply slicing them into a salad, many people tend to just eat them raw. However some people turn to pickling them for an elevated taste. Avocado pickles are not only delicious, but can be used in any dish where you'd typically eat them such as a salad or sandwich.

According to Healthline, they're seriously easy to make, too. All you need to do is place 240ml of white vinegar, 240ml of water and one tablespoon of salt into a saucepan and bring to a boil.

The pickling solution can be flavored with different ingredients for an added taste, such as garlic, fresh herbs, mustard seeds, peppercorns, or chilies.
