America’s Favorite Fruit – Avocado

The avocado is an evergreen, tropical tree with green, pear-shaped, nutrient-dense fruit. Not sweet but satisfying and versatile, with a creamy texture and a rich, buttery flavor from their high-fat content. High in potassium (more than a banana!), B vitamins, and vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin K,  they are incredibly mineral-dense, with high amounts of magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese. They’re excellent for digestive health, and a good source of prebiotics — the food that feeds good bacteria in your gut.
