Avocado Nutritional Information | California Avocado Commission

NUTRITION FACTS:

1. Avocados Are a Heart-Healthy, Nutrient-Dense Superfood
   Nutrient-dense foods are those that provide substantial amounts of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients with relatively few calories. One-third of a medium avocado (50 g) has 80 calories and contributes nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, making it a great nutrient-dense food choice.
2. Contains Good Fats
   The avocado is virtually the only fruit that contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fat – good fat!
3. Naturally Sodium-, Sugar- and Cholesterol-Free
   California Avocados are naturally sodium-, sugar- and cholesterol-free.
4. A Unique
   
   Fruit
   
   Avocados can act as a “nutrient booster” by helping increase the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamins A, D, K and E.
5. Great for Babies and Kids
   The avocado’s creamy consistency makes it one of the first fresh foods a baby can enjoy.
