Benefits of Avocados
Half of an avocado is an easy ingredient to help boost fruit and vegetable intake. All variations have more soluble fibre than other fruit and contain a number of useful minerals such as iron, magnesium and potassium. They are also a good source of vitamin A and the B vitamin folate.
Bananas have a reputation as the go-to source of potassium, but avocados actually contain more of this essential nutrient. 100g of avocado has 485mg of potassium, while the same amount of banana has 358mg.
Avocados can also make other foods healthier. Because some nutrients need to mix with fat in order to be used by the body, eating avocados alongside fresh salads, tomatoes, leafy greens, or even protein-rich foods like chicken, salmon and prawns helps your body absorb more of the vitamins and antioxidants they contain.
