Avocados are a treasure of nutrients. They contain more than 25 essential vitamins and minerals. Avocados are one of the few fruits that have monounsaturated (good) fats, making them an excellent part of a low to moderate fat diet, when they are consumed in place of foods containing saturated fats. Like other fruits and vegetables, avocados provide satiety because of their water and fibre content. This increases the feeling of fullness and can be used as part of an effective weight loss/weight management plan.
