It has a creamy, smooth texture and a nutty taste that makes it highly favored in various culinary applications. The Hass variety also has a high oil content, which contributes to its rich mouthfeel.
Avocados are highly nutritious and contain a variety of essential nutrients, including vitamin K, vitamin E, vitamin C, and B vitamins such as folate and B5. They are also a good source of fiber and healthy monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which is known for its health benefits.
