✦ High in monounsaturated fat ✦ Good source of fibre ✦ Rich in potassium ✦ Provides vitamin E

Avocado is an unusual fruit that is high in fat, mostly the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind. The flesh is rich, creamy and packed with fibre, potassium and vitamin E.

🍳
Preparation note

Fuerte avocado has a smoother, less buttery flesh than Hass; eat raw to preserve the heat-sensitive vitamin E and folate.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food. NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label. They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.

Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead. How we source and normalise our data →
