Are avocados good for you?
Avocados are an unusual fruit because as well as containing lots of healthy vitamins, minerals and fibre, they’re high in fat. Fortunately, most of this fat (more than 70 per cent) is the healthy kind. But having such a high fat content means avocados contain a higher amount of energy (calories) than other fruits and vegetables too. This means, although avocados are a healthy choice, you have to keep an eye on your portion size if you’re trying to manage your weight. What are the health benefits of avocados? Avocados are full of vitamins, mineral and fibre, and high in healthy unsaturated fats, meaning they fit well into heart-healthy diets such as the Mediterranean and DASH diets. They also have a lovely creamy taste and texture that means they can feel indulgent, making them a good substitute for foods like cheese, butter and fatty meats that are high in unhealthy fats.
