Guacamole's origins trace back to the Aztec Empire in Central America during the 1500s. The Aztecs enjoyed a mixture of avocados, tomatoes, and chilis known as "ahuaca-mulli." When the Spaniards encountered this treat, they couldn't pronounce the name correctly. They added their own ingredients like onions, cilantro, and lime juice, transforming the dish into guacamole. Since avocados didn't thrive in Spain, guacamole remained a popular Mexican food in the Americas.

Today, Guacamole has become a staple for gameday get togethers, taco night and more. At the Food Co-op we’ve got all the ingredients for YOU to make a great guacamole for any occasion.
