HEALTH BENEFITS OF AVOCADOS
Avocados, also called an alligator pear, are the fruit of the tree that belonging to the family Lauraceae including camphor, cinnamon and bay laurel. These fruits are believed to be originated in Mexico, where the name of “avocado” is derived from Aztech or Nahuatl word ‘ahuacatl‘, meaning ‘testicle‘ due to the fruit resemblance to a testicle.
Avocados are considered as one of the healthiest foods on the planet because they contain in excess of 25 essential nutrients, including vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, copper, iron, phosporus, magnesium, and potassium.
