Avocado & Fig Fertility Salsa

Working to conceive or maybe you just want to put you and your partner in the mood? Try this delicious salsa!

THE AVOCADO

The avocado was considered the ultimate fertility foods, according to the Aztecs. Its high Vitamin E content helps increase sperm motility and prevents “clumping” during the journey to the egg. A great source of good fats, these fruits help balance and nourish hormones and regulate the menstrual cycle.

THE FIG

Have you ever noticed that figs hang in twos when they grow, just like the male…? Well, you get the picture. Figs also help increase sperm mobility and count. But for women, they are a great source of non-dairy calcium and are high in fiber (hence Fig Newtons!). This salsa is seriously delicious, but since it helps propel both men and women’s fertility potential, I’d just go ahead and make double. Unless you want to start a fight, just to make up!
