Avocados 101: Exactly Why The Fashionable Fruit Should Be Central To Your Diet – Vogue

At this point, smashed avocado on toast is on every menu across the globe. But it doesnt just look good on your feed. The avocado's health benefits are many as nutritionist and author Dagmar von Cramm explains.

The author explains that avocados are a good way to make a satisfying meal that isn't loaded with saturated fats or salt. Instead of cheese or bacon as a side of your eggs, a healthy portion of avocado is a delicious and healthy alternative. You can switch out foods such as cheese and processed meats to help you cut down on saturated fats and salt, she says. Which is probably why avocado on toast has become such a popular meal. As you eat them raw, it preserves vitamins such as folate.

Avocados are also said to help keep your blood sugar levels constant, and to help cholesterol and triglyceride (a type of fat) levels stay low.

For sustainability reasons, its good to be mindful of our avocado consumption, but according to von Cramm, they should be a regular part of your diet. This is particularly beneficial for vegans, she adds, pointing to their nutritional benefits for those following plant-based diets.

To get your avocado to the perfect ripeness, it is important that you store it correctly. Other fruits like bananas or apples should always be stored separately, as they cause other foods to ripen more quickly. Try to store avocados in a cool, dark place and as soon as it feels soft on the outside, its the right time to dig in.
