Not only are they loaded with rich fat but are also an excellent source of fiber. They are packed with nutrients such as folate, vitamins B6, C, E, K as well as selenium and zinc. Added bonus: they are low in carbohydrates and sodium! Unlike the unhealthy saturated fats, the fats in avocados are mono-unsaturated, similar to olive oil. These MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids) found in avocados are known to lower the risk of heart disease and other health risks<\/strong>.<\/p>Rebecca Huff<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

About the Author: Lara Ferroni <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
I didn't really mean to become a photographer. But with the first photo that I took of a batch of homemade raspberry scones, I knew I was a goner. My family quickly learned to ask first before digging in with their forks as I became completely snap-happy around any kind of food. Family vacations were hijacked to make special trips to particularly photogenic markets or restaurants.<\/p>
Luckily for me, and my family, this passion quickly turned into something a bit more useful… beautiful images of food, travel and life for editorial publications and advertising.<\/p>
