Folic acid is important for DNA replication in all humans, but is even more important during pregnancy. It is advised that all women consume a supplement enhanced with folic acid, but avocados are an excellent source. Folic acid helps prevent the development of deformities in the womb, such as a condition called spina bifida. 11. Promote Healthy Liver Function The fruit of horticultural cultivars has a markedly higher fat content than most other fruit, mostly monounsaturated fat, and as such serves as an important staple in the diet of consumers who have limited access to other fatty foods (high-fat meats and fish, dairy products). Having a high smoke point, avocado oil is expensive compared to common salad and cooking oils, and is mostly used for salads or dips.Crane, JH; Balerdi CF; Maguire I (1 August 2007).

Avocado oil has an impressive range of nutrients and compounds, including vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin D, as well as magnesium, beta-sitosterol, various monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

PCBMB. 2022; 23(29-30):32-41. doi:10.56557/PCBMB/2022/v23i29-307772 In the Philippines (where avocados were introduced from Mexico since before the 1700s), [102] Brazil, Indonesia, Vietnam, and southern India (especially the coastal Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka region), avocados are frequently used for milkshakes and occasionally added to ice cream and other desserts. [103] In Brazil, the Philippines [104] Vietnam, and Indonesia, a dessert drink is made with sugar, milk or water, and pureed avocado. Chocolate syrup is sometimes added. In Morocco, a similar chilled avocado and milk drink is sweetened with confectioner's sugar and flavored with a touch of orange flower water. We all can probably do with a little bit of weight loss, so every single thing helps. When it comes to fat, many people are scared, and misinformed. Fats will not necessarily cause you to gain weight, even though they yield more calories per gram when compared with the other macronutrients. Avocados, however, can help reduce your appetite and suppresses your overall caloric intake over the course of the day. Plus, when included in meals, you are likely to be satisfied for a far long time, opposed to having a meal without ample fat. 6. Avocados Are Fiber Rich Steve Chawkins (3 June 2013). "Gil Henry dies at 88; revolutionized avocado industry; Henry pioneered the use of a 'ripening room' at his family's Escondido farm.

Avocado leaves, bark, skin, or pit are documented to be harmful to animals; cats, dogs, cattle, goats, rabbits, [116] rats, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and horses [117] can be severely harmed or even killed when they consume them. The avocado fruit is poisonous to some birds, and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) lists it as toxic to horses. [118] Continue to do this until you have a very dark brown colored paste. If yours was slightly chunky, like mine, then you may still have a few green bits. If it was super smooth, it’s likely that the entire paste is now brown.a b c d Ayala Silva, Tomas; Ledesma, Noris (2014). "Avocado History, Biodiversity and Production".

In addition to the fruit, the leaves of Mexican avocados ( Persea americana var. drymifolia) are used in some cuisines as a spice, with a flavor somewhat reminiscent of anise. [107] They are sold both dried and fresh, toasted before use, and either crumbled or used whole, commonly in bean dishes. [108] Leaves of P. americana, Guatemalan variety, are toxic to goats, sheep, and horses. [109] Nutrition and health Avocados, raw Nutritional value per 100g (3.5oz) Risérus U, Willett WC, Hu FB.
