Nutrition Values of Avocado
Avocados have diverse fats.[34] For a typical avocado:
- About 75% of an avocado's energy comes from fat, most of which (67% of total) is monounsaturated fat as oleic acid.[34]
- Other predominant fats include palmitic acid and linoleic acid.[34]
- The saturated fat content amounts to 14% of the total fat in a single serving of avocado while containing zero cholesterol.[34]
- Typical total fat composition is roughly (rounded to digits): 1% ω-3, 14% ω-6, 71% ω-9 (65% oleic and 6% palmitoleic), and 14% saturated fat (palmitic acid).[35]
- On a weight basis, avocados have 35% more potassium (485 mg/100 g) than bananas (358 mg/100 g). They are rich in folic acid and vitamin K, and are good dietary sources of vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E and pantothenic acid.[34]
- Avocados have a high fiber content of 75% insoluble and 25% soluble fiber.[36]
High avocado intake was shown in one preliminary study to lower blood cholesterol levels. Specifically, after a seven-day diet rich in avocados, mild hypercholesterolemia patients showed a 17% decrease in total serum cholesterol levels. These subjects also showed a 22% decrease in both LDL (harmful cholesterol) and triglyceride levels and 11% increase in HDL (helpful cholesterol) levels.[37] A 2013 epidemiological report showed that American avocado consumers had better overall diet quality, nutrient levels, and reduced risk of metabolic syndrome.[38]
Extracts of avocado have been studied in laboratory research to assess potential for lowering risk of diabetes mellitus.[39]
