Description
Avocados are nutrient dense and contain plenty of calcium, fiber,
folate, potassium, and vitamins B6 and E. Often treated as vegetables,
avocados are really fruit and grow on trees. Avocados are also known as
alligator pears because of their shape and textured skin.Dozens of
varieties are grown in California and Florida. Though avocados are high in unsaturated fat, the
California Avocado Advisory Board states that half of an 8-ounce
avocado contains only 138 calories. In addition, avocados contain a
fair amount of vitamin C, thiamine and riboflavin.
Tip: Once avocado flesh is cut and exposed to the air it
tends to discolor rapidly. To minimize this effect it is always
advisable to add cubed or sliced avocado to a dish at the last moment.
