There is no doubt in this world that avocados are hard and picking a good one is sometimes difficult. They are either famously too green or overly ripe and soft in a matter of days. This image seems to see is not believing.
Getting a perfectly ripe avocado already feels like a lucky day. But when this person got a ripe avocado that had no seed, their surprise was on an entirely different level.
Apparently, some folks are luckier than others when it comes to avocados, which could be absolutely mind-blowing for some of us. The seedless avocados are the result of an unpollinated avocado blossom that develops without a seed. The fruit is grown in Spain and available only during December when they are usually sent to food markets in Paris — but M&S was able to obtain a limited supply this year for select stores. A very small seed fits that group,
Avocados reportedly have many calories. The recommended serving size is smaller than you’d expect: 1/3 of a medium avocado (50 grams or 1.7 ounces). One ounce has 50 calories.
Avocados are high in fat. But it's monounsaturated fat, which is a "good" fat that helps lower bad cholesterol, as long as you eat them in moderation.
Avocados offer nearly 20 vitamins and minerals. So in a 100-gram serving, you get:
- 485 milligrams of potassium
- 81 micrograms of folate
- 0.257 milligrams of vitamin B6
- 10 milligrams of vitamin C
- 2.07 milligrams of vitamin E
Avocados are low in sugar. And they contain fiber, which helps you feel full longer. In one study, people who added a fresh avocado half to their lunch were less interested in eating during the next 3 hours than those who didn’t have the fruit.
