Happy National Avocado Day!
Packed with a powerhouse of nutritional benefits, Avocados are an excellent source of monounsaturated fat and vitamin E.
However, avocados receive some criticism as they are high in calories due to the high-fat content.
Half an avocado counts as one portion of your 5-a day and those managing their weight might want to consider limiting the number of avocados they consume to two per week while increasing the portions of other lower calorie fruits and vegetables.
