Avocados

The avocado (Persea americana) is a tree native to the Americas, most likely in the highlands of south-central Mexico and Guatemala. Lauraceae is the flowering plant family in which it belongs. The plant's fruit, often known as an avocado (or avocado pear or alligator pear), is a huge berry with a single enormous seed. Avocado trees are largely self-pollinating, and they're frequently propagated by grafting to ensure consistent fruit quality and quantity.

A full avocado contains about 5 grams of fiber. A serving of avocado is one-fifth of an avocado, which contains roughly one gram of fiber, or 4% of your daily need. For a fruit or vegetable to be considered an excellent source it must contain at least 20% of a specific nutrient per serving. Avocados are also an important source of mono- and polyunsaturated fats. These fats are great for improving blood cholesterol levels and decreasing risk of heart disease. But, that’s not all avocados can do for you! They also provide lots of vitamin E, K, B6, and C.
