“Avocados are such a treasure trove of nutrients. Below are just some of the impressive credentials Australian Avocados have on their resume.
Avocados are one of the few fruits that are also a healthy fat food. A 50g serve or a quarter of avocado contains just 6g of total fat that’s around the same amount of fat as in a teaspoon of cooking oil.
Avocados are particularly rich in healthy monounsaturated fats. A healthy varied diet high in fruits and vegetables, such as avocado, has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and contribute to heart health.”
