One-third of a medium avocado (50 g) has 80 calories and provides almost 20 vitamins and minerals, making it a nutrient-rich food.
Good monounsaturated fats are found naturally in olive oil, nuts and, yes, you guessed it, avocados! In fact, avocados are the only fruit with the good fats we need. Plus, they contain no cholesterol, sugar or sodium. Just one serving of avocado a day provides 12% of the recommended daily intake of fiber, and one-third of an avocado contains 10% of the recommended daily intake of folate.
