Avocados are the most amazing berries of the produce section. They are your go-to ingredient for guacamole dips at parties. They can turn a Mexican menu into an amazing feast. And they’re also turning up in everything from salads and wraps to smoothies, brownies, and now ice- cream So what, exactly, makes this pear-shaped berry (yes, that’s right!) such a super food?

Avocados offer nearly 20 vitamins and minerals in every serving, including potassium (which helps control blood pressure), lutein (which is good for your eyes), and folate (which is crucial for cell repair and during pregnancy).

Avocados are a good source of B vitamins, which help you fight off disease and infection. They also give you vitamins C and E, plus natural plant chemicals that may help prevent cancer.

Avocados are low in sugar. And they contain fibre, which helps you feel full longer. In one study, people who added a fresh avocado half to their lunch were less interested in eating during the next three hours.
