The popularity of avocado is down to its rich, creamy texture and mild flavour. The avocado, or Persea americana, is a fruit that belongs to the family of lauraceae; a group that also includes members such as cinnamon and laurel. There are dozens of varieties of avocado, ranging in size, colour and texture. All are native to tropical climates and, when harvested, the flesh softens to a buttery texture that has become extremely popular in everything from dips to desserts.
Avocados are an excellent source of monounsaturated fat and vitamin E, and are a good source of folate. They also supply more soluble fibre than other fruit and contain a number of useful minerals including iron, copper and potassium.
There's a lot of hype around avocados and rightly so. They're packed with nutrients like potassium and vitamin E, which supports healthy eyes. Yes, they're considerably high in calories compared to other fruits, but this is what contributes to feelings of fullness. Plus, the monounsaturated fats in avocados have been shown to benefit the heart and cardiovascular system.

I would love to win, but will probably have to buy anyway, if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all.
