They are a great source of healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, which are known to support heart health. Avocados also contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K, vitamin E, vitamin C, and B vitamins, as well as potassium. The fibre content in avocados can help support digestive health, and their antioxidant properties can aid in reducing inflammation and protecting against chronic diseases.
