The popularity of avocados seems to be increasing as days go by. To many, avocados are the most versatile and tastiest “superfoods” that you will ever lay your hands on. Avocados grow naturally as is the case with most fruits but are somehow quite different. This fruit is not sweet and juicy as is the case with apples, mangoes, oranges or any other type of fruit. That is because they are mainly a source of saturated fats rather than carbohydrates. They are, therefore, suitable for people who are on a low-carb diet. 

Reducing your intake of carbs is of course the most popular way of avoiding energy surges, blood sugar problems and other health complications. Initially, saturated fats were considered unhealthy as they played a part in increasing heart problems. However, after examining them carefully, researchers decided to clear this notion. Saturated fats are now being relied upon to increase HDL cholesterol (The “good” type of cholesterol).

With their numerous crucial fatty acids, avocados are sure to give users health benefits. Furthermore, they have a fantastic taste especially when you mash them on toast.  Alternatively, you can eat them the old fashioned way or simply use it for cooking just like any other type of oil.
