🌿 Avocado
Avocado
Persea americana
Avocado is a nutrient-rich fruit with a high content of monounsaturated plant fats. It provides vitamin E, carotenoids and other valuable plant compounds and may improve the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients from other foods.
Notes
Avocado should be eaten ripe and fresh. The flesh can be eaten raw or added to smoothies, salads and other dishes. The healthy fats in avocado support the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E and K and certain carotenoids.
