Nutritional values

Avocados provide monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which help lower cholesterol levels and protect the heart and blood vessels. Additionally, the tomatoes in this dish are a good source of vitamin A, which is important for a healthy immune system, and vitamin C, which helps the body's cells fight off free radicals.

Avocados are always harvested before they are ripe. If you want to enjoy them immediately, you should choose those that give way even under slight pressure. Hard, ripe avocados can be wrapped in newspaper at home or stored together with apples and bananas to speed up ripening.
