About Avocados, raw, all commercial varieties
The avocado is a fruit that behaves like a vegetable and tastes like neither — buttery, mild and rich rather than sweet. Most of what is sold around the world is the pebbly-skinned Hass variety, valued because it ripens to a creamy texture and travels well.
What sets the avocado apart is fat. Unlike almost any other fruit, around three-quarters of its calories come from fat, and most of that is the heart-friendly monounsaturated kind found in olive oil. That richness lifts its calorie count to roughly 160 per 100 grams, but it arrives packaged with fiber, potassium (more gram for gram than a banana), vitamin E, vitamin K and folate.
Because that fat helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, an avocado is worth more than the sum of its parts at the table — a few slices on a salad can improve how much nutrition you take from everything else on the plate.
