Avocado

Nutritional Benefits

Overview
Chile has been growing commercial avocado varieties for almost 100 years, but cultivation began to increase dramatically in the late 1980s due to growing demand from world markets. Chile continues to grow other varieties that are marketed domestically, but most production has shifted to the Hass variety. Over 99% of avocados exported from Chile are Hass. Chilean avocados are available from September through March.
Nutrition
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.
