Nutritional values

Avocados are among the fruits richest in vitamin E. Our body uses the fat-soluble vitamin as an antioxidant to protect its cells. It also prevents arteriosclerosis and is good for the heart. Besides, avocados help to produce the happiness hormone serotonin.

A perfect lunch or dinner for all those who want to eat a low carbohydrate diet. If you lack carbohydrates, eat a slice of wholemeal bread with your layer salad, which also provides additional fibre.
