AVOCADOS – THE WORLD’S MOST PERFECT FOOD

Avocados are considered one of nature’s most perfect foods. And for a good reason – they are loaded with various nutrients and healthy fats.

• They are a good source of Vitamin K, a vitamin the body needs to stay healthy. Half of an avocado provides approximately 25 percent of the daily recommended intake.
• Avocados are a good source of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is an essential part of a healthy diet. It helps reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity and it’s crucial for keeping the gut healthy.
• Avocado is a low-glycemic food – the glycemic index for avocado is estimated to be 15.
• The high-fat content will make some people think twice before adding avocados to their balanced diet. The good news is, avocados contain mostly monounsaturated fats, also known as the “heart-healthy” type of fats. Monounsaturated fats are an important part of a healthy diet – they can help reduce the risk of heart disease and decrease inflammation.

STORING AVOCADOS

Avocados are best eaten when they are perfectly ripe. To achieve this, store avocados at room temperature and keep in mind it can take 4 to 5 days for avocados to ripen. When ripe, avocados should feel slightly soft when you apply some pressure.

If you want to speed up the ripening process, put them in a paper bag along with an apple or banana. Once avocados are ripe, it’s best to store them in the fridge to prevent them from going overripe.
