About Avocados, raw, all commercial varieties
Unusually fat-rich for a fruit, raw avocado carries about 160 calories per 100 grams, most of it from 14.7 grams of total fat. Monounsaturated fat dominates that figure at 9.8 grams, while saturated fat stays low near 2.1 grams. Carbohydrate is only 8.5 grams, and with 6.7 grams of fiber the net digestible carbohydrate and the 0.66 grams of sugar are both small. Potassium is a standout mineral at 485 milligrams, exceeding that of many vegetables, and is joined by phosphorus and magnesium. Folate reaches 81 micrograms, with vitamin K at 21 micrograms and vitamin C at 10 milligrams. The combination of monounsaturated fat, potassium and fiber distinguishes avocado from the sugar-dominant profile typical of other commercial fruits.
