Y'all sleeping on this fruit?
Don't because avocado is truly a nutritional powerhouse.
It stores B-Vitamins, Essential Fatty Acids, an important anti-oxidant called glutathione (the liver uses glutathione as a very potent, if not the most potent, detoxifier), some Vitamin C and many essential minerals. It also contains lutein which is the pigment that gives it that greenish color. Lutein is an important nutrient for the eye, it concentrates in the macula and protects it from oxidative stress (free radical damage).
It is such a versatile food as well. I use it like butter. You can put it on basically anything.
Salads, sandwiches, soups etc...
It is a high energy food as well.
PEACE
