Avocados Super Fruit

My daughter absolutely loves avocados, she would eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think this is wonderful as avocados are extremely good for you and also a bonus we run an avocado farm so we are never short of them. :)

She has avocado on wholegrain toast every morning which sets her up for a great start to the day. Half an  avocado can give the average adult 5g of fibre (17% of adult fibre needs) ,36% of the recommended dietary intake (RDI) for folate, 31% of RDI for vitamin K, 24% of RDI for vitamin E and 15% of RDI for potassium.

Some of the benefits of avocados are:

• They are rich in vitamin c
• Good source of fibre
• Strong antioxidant capacity
• Contains vitamin E
• Important during pregnancy for the developing foetus
• Great for maintaining a healthy appetite

I started her from a very young age including avocado in her diet. It is defiantly better nutritionally to have then most other things that are out there and is giving her the best start to life as well as teaching how to eat well.
