Avocados are a powerhouse of nutrition. This creamy green fruit is rich in healthy fats, fiber, and other nutrients that support overall well-being. According to the USDA, a medium avocado offers around 10-13 g of fiber, promoting digestive health, regularity, and fullness. They are also rich in potassium, vitamin C, folate, vitamin E, and B vitamins, which makes them good for skin, eyes, and the immune system. According to a study, they can help lower “bad” cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides, and oxidized LDL, while increasing “good” HDL cholesterol. While they are rich in nutrients, adding a few common ingredients to avocados can easily boost the nutritional value of this green creamy delight.
