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.
