Nutritional values
Avocados have the highest content of heart-healthy unsaturated fats of any fruit. They're also high in fat-soluble vitamin E, which has a positive effect on blood pressure and can help lower cholesterol levels and protect the heart and blood vessels.
Avocados only gain their delicious flavor when they're ripe. You can tell if an avocado is at its peak ripeness by squeezing it softly. If the skin yields to pressure but isn't mushy, it should be good to go. If your avocado feels firm, place it in a paper bag or covered in newspaper for two to three days to accelerate the ripening process.
