About Half cup avacado
Half a cup of avocado is a creamy, nutrient-dense ingredient commonly used in Mexican cuisine and increasingly popular worldwide. This portion contains around 120 calories, packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that can help lower bad cholesterol levels. Avocados are an excellent source of fiber, supporting digestion and maintaining blood sugar balance. They are rich in vitamins such as vitamin K, essential for bone health, and vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. They also provide potassium, aiding in muscle function and regulating blood pressure. While avocados are highly nutritious, their fat content means they are calorie-dense, so portion control is important. This versatile fruit can be mashed into guacamole, sliced over salads, or blended into smoothies, making it a delicious and healthful addition to various meals.
