AVOCADO NUTRITIONAL INFO:

Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid. They also act as a "nutrient booster" by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha and beta-carotene and lutein, in foods that are eaten with the fruit.

Avocados are high in valuable fats and appear to have a beneficial effect on blood serum levels. For a typical avocado:

• About 75% of an avocado's calories come from fat, most of which is monounsaturated fat.
• Avocados also have 60% more potassium than bananas. They are rich in B vitamins, as well as vitamin E and vitamin K.
• Avocados have a high fiber content among fruits - including 75% insoluble and 25% soluble fiber.
