Avocado
If You Read Nothing Else

Most of the fat is monounsaturated, the same kind that makes olive oil useful.
One whole fruit carries roughly 7 g of fibre and about 700 mg of potassium.
Eating it with a salad raises how much carotenoid (the orange and yellow plant pigments your body can use) you absorb from the vegetables.
Half a fruit is a serving. It is food, not a garnish, and the calories are real.
