WHAT IS AVOCADO?

 Avocado is the fruit of the avocado tree, Persea americana in scientific terms. In addition to its excellent nutritional value, this fruit provides flavour and texture to a wide range of cuisines. It is often referred to as a superfood because of its health benefits [1].


Avocados come in many shapes and colours, from round to pear-shaped, green to black. They can also range from 8 ounces to 3 pounds in weight (1.4 kilograms).


Avocados are rich in nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals. The following nutrients are found in a single 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving (3):

    • 26 percent of the daily value of vitamin K (DV)
    • Folate: 20% of the daily value
    • Vitamin C: 17% of the daily value
    • Potassium: 14% of the daily value
    • 14 percent of the daily value for vitamin B5
    • 13 percent of the daily value for vitamin B6
    • 10% of the daily value of vitamin E

Magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, phosphorus, and vitamins A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), and B3 (riboflavin) are also present in minor levels (niacin).


There are 160 calories, 2g of protein, and 15g of healthy fats in this snack. Although it has 9g of carbs, 7 of those are fibre, making it a low-carb-friendly plant meal with only 2 net carbs [2].
