WASHINGTON, DC / AGILITYPR.NEWS / August 11, 2021 / "One World, One Guacamole" is a creative initiative by the World Avocado Organization (WAO) uniting athletes from the four corners of the world with the avocado as the superfood of choice for champions.

The British Sailing Team, the most successful national Olympic sailing team of all time, kickstarted each day at Tokyo 2020 is kick-started with a breakfast of avocados and poached eggs.

The Olympic Games is a momentous occasion on the sporting calendar in which athletes from all continents come together to demonstrate their union and determination through sport. The oceans have united continents even before flying was ever an option and sailing has been a regular fixture at the Olympics having made its debut as far back as the 1900 Paris games. Team GB has won more sailing medals at the Olympic Games than any other nation, securing 64 Olympic medals – including 31 golds - reinforcing the UK as a sailing superpower.

All of the main countries that export and import avocados, the unparalleled superfood, are surrounded by oceans and there is nothing more essential for a healthy diet than including the avocado to counteract the physical challenges of the Olympics Games and the World Avocado Cup Regatta.

To celebrate the Tokyo Olympics and the World Avocado Cup held in San Diego the World Avocado Organization (WAO) has created its most revolutionary and international recipe to date, featuring the all-time favourite snack. With a renewed sense of hope after lengthy pandemic restrictions the “One World, One Guacamole” is the first universal guacamole created to honour the cultures of the world and demonstrate the versatility, diversity and cosmopolitanism of the “fruit of life”.

Guacamole is the king of appetizers in universal gastronomy. Its smooth texture and unique flavour make it the perfect complement to any dish and for any occasion. In addition, it is a mega source of vitamins, minerals and proteins to guarantee good health and for athletes where a balanced diet is essential, provides them with the necessary stamina.

“The Olympic Games have historically united all continents. With this very special guacamole initiative, we wanted to acknowledge this essential ally of athletes but also for anyone who wants to take care of themselves with something rich, healthy and tasty. Avocado is the most desired, versatile and sexy superfood that can be combined in any dish and at any time of the day and with this dish we also celebrate cultural diversity while remembering the importance of a healthy diet”, explains Xavier Equihua, the CEO of WAO.

As a tribute to the countries that take part in the world's greatest sporting event, and especially to sailors, WAO and its brand ambassador, Colette Dike, from FOODECO have created One World, One Guacamole, an unprecedented recipe full of flavours from various cultures. WAO sends heart-felt congratulations to all British athletes competing.
