Half a small avocado is a nutrient-packed fruit native to Central and South America, commonly associated with Mexican cuisine. It weighs about 68 grams and provides a creamy texture and mild flavor, making it versatile for spreads, salads, and more. This portion is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which help support cholesterol management. It also delivers fiber that aids digestion and keeps you fuller longer, alongside potassium, which supports healthy blood pressure levels. Small amounts of vitamins E, K, and B6 in avocados contribute to skin health, bone strength, and energy production. While avocados are calorie-dense, their fats are considered healthier than saturated or trans fats. However, portion control is important for those tracking caloric intake. Naturally cholesterol-free, half a small avocado strikes a balance between enhancing flavor and boosting nutrition in meals for overall wellness.
