Avocados - Butter Fruit

  • Avocados contain oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that may help to lower cholesterol.
  • Avocados are a good source of potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure.
  • One cup of avocado has 23% of the Daily Value for folate, a nutrient important for heart health.
  • Enjoying a few slices of avocado in your tossed salad, or mixing some chopped avocado into your favorite salsa will not only add a rich, creamy flavor, but will greatly increase your body's ability to absorb the health-promoting carotenoids that vegetables provide
