According to the California Avocado Commission, a medium Hass avocado contains about 22.5 grams of fat, two-thirds of which is monounsaturated. They’re also very low in fructose, which is yet another boon, and provide close to 20 essential health-boosting nutrients, including:Fiber, Potassium,Vitamin E, B-vitamins and Folate.
My favorite ways to consume avocados are mashed in to hard boiled eggs to create a mayonnaise substitute for egg salad or to be eaten as a snack with a couple pinches of sea salt right out of the shell.
Give this delicious fruit a try, and remember even though the skin is thick it is important to opt for organic avocados 🙂
