Oh how I love thee avocado!

Did you know?

The avocado is a fruit.

Avocados do not contain any cholesterol or sodium, and are low in saturated fat.

Avocados are loaded with fiber!

Avocado contains 36% of the daily requirement of vitamin K, 30% of the folate, and 20% each of the daily requirements of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5, needed to break down carbohydrates), vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium - more than twice the potassium of a banana.

They also contain vitamin E, niacin, and riboflavin as well

Eaten with other foods, your body is better able to absorb the nutrients, such as alpha- and beta-carotene and lutein.

Avocado provides you with "good" fats. That means it can help keep your cholesterol levels in the healthy range, and help lower your risk for heart disease.
