HPP foods offer an alternative to traditional caned or jarred foods. HPP"cold-pasteurization" is as effective as cooking or heating to eliminateharmful food pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli.Additionally, because the organisms causing foods to spoil have been reducedor eliminated, HPP foods stay fresher longer. HPP is an FDA recognized processthat is chemical and preservative-free and offers solutions for natural,fresh-tasting preservation of foods including avocados, tomatoes and evenmeats.
"Moms choosing HPP processed foods have peace of mind knowing the food isall-natural with little or no chemical preservatives," states Marcia Walker,PhD, Nutritionist and Vice President Technology and Microbiology, FresherizedFoods. "Avocados retain their nutrients, taste and texture without browningusing HPP," adds Walker.

Avocados are much like broccoli on the "momapproval scale" -- they are loaded with more than 20 nutrients and "goodfats," and are proven to lower cholesterol. Mashed, avocados become guacamole,a heart-healthy super-snack.
