Avacado / Persea americana

Avacado / Persea americana
Many years back I was reading a comic book in which an elephant was going mad and was shouting because it didn’t have its quota of avocados for the luncheon. I personally thought Avocado is a fictitious vegetable. That was a time one can find information only in Encyclopedia in the college libraries. And there was no college where I grew up!

A whole medium avocado contains about 240 calories, 13 grams carbohydrate, 3 grams protein, 22 grams fat (15 grams monounsaturated, 4 grams polyunsaturated, 3 grams saturated), 10 grams fiber, and 11 milligrams sodium. Along with their low sodium levels, avocados contain no cholesterol.

Is it healthy to eat an avocado per day?
In fact, researchers have found that avocados may protect the heart in a similar way as olive oil and nuts do in the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet. A 2018 analysis of 10 studies found an increase in HDL (protective cholesterol) in people who consumed an average of 1 to 3.7 avocados daily.

Other evolutionary shadows of the Pleistocene live in the produce aisle. Seeds in fruit are designed to be eaten and dispersed by animals, but for the avocado this makes little sense. Their billard ball-sized cores, if swallowed whole, would at the very least make for an agonizing few days to digestive transit. But the fruit makes a little more sense in a land populated by tree-foraging giants, like the sometimes dinosaur-proportioned ground sloths, who swallowed the seeds and hardly noticed them. The ground sloths disappeared a geological moment ago, but their curious fruit, the avocado, remains. ~ Page 227
