Avocado, Hass, flesh only

Hass avocado is a fruit, and the figures here describe its ripe flesh only, excluding the skin and stone. It mainly provides fat, along with fibre and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, the flesh contains 17g of fat, including 4.2g of saturated fat, as well as 3.1g of fibre and 583mg of potassium.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while potassium helps nerves and muscles work normally. Fat provides energy, so the amount eaten is relevant for people monitoring their energy intake. The saturated fat content is also worth noting for those limiting saturated fat. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
