Only dietetic interns would have a 15 minute lunch conversation about avocados. Yes, it was a heated discussion that racked our very tired brains. What is a serving size? Is it a fruit or a vegetable? Does it have fiber? fat? carbs? WHAT IN THE WORLD IS IT?
This prompted a much needed avocado blog ...
An avocado is technically a fruit that grows from a tree. Although it tastes like a vegetable, the pit in the middle makes it a fruit. They contain
- Protein
- Healthy fats (monounsaturated)
- Essential amino acids
