- DougEExplorerI never use cilantro. That's a modern addition that masks the taste of the avocado.

Have a recipe that calls for
2 col avocados
2 - g chopped cilantro,
1 - g diced tomatoes,
1 - 2 g lime juice.
What does the col and/or g stand for?
Looks pretty good to me - my kind of guacamole! Lots of avocado and little anything else - although 1 gram of diced tomatoes do sound a bit anemic there. ( There are 454 grams in a pound ). I assume the col is a misprint - perhaps they meant 2 cored and peeled avocados.,,, - NYCgrrlExplorer

Good answer!
I prefer about....1/2 a medium tomato and say a 1/4 of a medium onion yet imagine there are so many recipes to accommodate everyone's tastes. - MocoondoExplorer IIThis is my guac recipe. I picked it up years ago when I was living in the Caribbean.
4 large avocados
Juice of one LEMON
8 or more dashes hot pepper sauce such as Tabasco
1/2 cup diced red onion
1 minced garlic clove
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 medium tomato seeded, diced
It is a little different in that you use lemon juice versus lime, but it really works. - prstlkExplorer40 years in the produce biss. Col might be an abbreviation for Colavo which is one of the biggest packers of avocados

I was also thinking Colombian avocados, which is common vernacular in central America, that we know as a Hass avocado in the states.
Still unsure about the "g" measurement. - NYCgrrlExplorerWondering when the OP will come back and clarify.
Enquirering minds want to know;).
