Is avocado good for me?

Avocado has long been known as good fat.  But how good?  Well, research shows that adding avocado to a salad (for example) increases the intake of carotenoids (antioxidants proven to destroy cancers) by a whopping 200%.  Carotenoids are part of what gives a veggie it’s colour and they are fat-soluble, the reason they are absorbed better with avocado.

Avo also has a particularly fatty texture, so we use it as a base for cake icing and for chocolate in Healthy Junk.
