Avocado Nutrition

January 12, 2016 by Dinner Tonight

Did you know that an avocado is a fruit?  They also are a source of dietary fiber, potassium, and folate.   The serving size for avocados is pretty small, roughly 1 ounce or a quarter of an avocado.   While these green fruits pack a punch with 50 calories per serving, they are a good addition to chili or a salad.   Check out the nutrition highlights of an avocado below!
