If you say Avocado is one of the best fruits in the world, you may not be far from the truth. Avocado is nutritious, tasty and above all, yummy! Oh yes, the taste is heavenly. No wonder so many people make sure they take at least one avocado daily.

The nutrients it contains are incredible. It contains fat but hey, not to worry, it is the good fat. Research has shown that Avocado contains healthy mono-unsaturated fat which is certainly good for the heart and they lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Just like beans, Avocado contains plenty fibre, which is very necessary for digestion. They also contain many vitamins including Vitamins A, E and K.

Avocado is not just eaten as a fruit; it can also be used to make all kinds of dishes.

Try eating Avocado with bread and you would certainly throw your margarine into the trash can. It is also a great complement with rice- jollof, fried or white. Have you tried using Avocado as a dressing for your salad? You will crave for salad at any time of the day if you try it out.

Do you know Avocado’s wonder does not stop at eating? Externally the advantages of Avocado cannot be ignored. Ever heard of Avocado Moisturiser? That’s right. This fruit serves as body cream and can prevent the skin from sunburns.
