Avocado is a fruit belongs to the genus Persea in the Lauraceae family.
It is sodium- and cholesterol-free and has only 5 grams of fat per serving, mostly monounsaturated kind. A whole medium avocado contains approximately 15% of the FDA's recommended daily amount of saturated fat. The high fat content appears to fight the ravages of age, sun and wind damage as it softens and smoothes the skin. It has 60% more potassium than bananas. Its high mineral, vitamin and nutrient compounds help to support healthy cholesterol levels, fight serious disease and promote good eye health.
An excellent substitute for meats in sandwiches and salads .
