While most fruit consists primarily of carbohydrate, avocado is high in healthy fats.
Numerous studies show that it has powerful health benefits.
Here are 12 health benefits of avocado that are supported by scientific research.
1. Avocado is Incredibly Nutritious
Avocados are very nutritious and contain a wide variety of nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals.
