Facts about avocados:

Avocados provide you with fourteen minerals, including iron and copper. Sodium and potassium in avocados keeps your body chemically balanced; they're also a great source of Vitamin A, several B-complex, C, E as well as phosphorus and magnesium. 

Avocados reduce cholesterol and so reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. In addition avocados are a natural source of monounsaturated fat, which makes it a heart-healthy food package. This fruit contains all essential amino-acids as well, which makes it a very complete and healthy choice, especially for vegetarians and vegans.

Bon appetit!
