Avocado sauce

Avocado sauce is a sauce prepared using avocado as a primary ingredient.[1] Commercial sauces are typically prepared to have a thin, sauce-like consistency that is pourable.[1][2] Commercial preparation involves mixing the avocado using high-speed blenders, which breaks up the pulp.[1] Spices, water and emulsifiers are added, and the resultant product is then typically frozen to prevent browning. Popular brands include Kumana and Herdez.[1]
