Half an avocado is a nutrient-dense powerhouse with creamy texture and mild flavor, commonly associated with cuisines from Mexico and Central America. This fruit is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, making it a heart-friendly option that can help reduce bad cholesterol levels. It provides about 120 calories, fiber for digestive health, and an array of vitamins like vitamin K, E, C, and several B vitamins, along with minerals such as potassium and magnesium. These nutrients support energy production, skin health, and muscle function. Avocado’s healthy fats enhance nutrient absorption from other foods, but it’s calorie-dense, so portion control is key for those watching caloric intake. It’s versatile, enjoyed in salads, sandwiches, smoothies, or as guacamole, offering both flavor and health benefits.
