Avocado is also known by the name Makhanphal or Butter fruit. They are cultivated in the tropical and Mediterranean climate throughout the world.
Avocado is a pear shaped fruit with a long, slender neck and the colour ranges from green to dark purple. Botanically, the fruit is a berry and has a single large round seed in it.
This fruit is full of nutrients. Avocado is rich in Vitamin A, B, C, E, K and traces of minerals including Magnesium and Potassium. It also contains good amount of dietary fibre and healthy fat.
Avocado benefits includes lower blood pressure, healthy heart, better skin, protection against cancer, treats arthritis, treats constipation, guards against birth defects, improves nutrient intake and helps to reduce weight. These are some of the most important benefits that make it a good reason to eat this fruit on regular basis in some form.
For those who love Avocado, this fruit can be used to prepare creamy and smooth milkshake, which can be a treat during hot summers. But as Avocado is bland in taste, adding sugar is a must while preparing this milkshake.
Choose ripe Avocado by pressing it gently. If it is hard, it means that the Avocado is unripe. If it’s too soft, then it means Avocado is over ripe. If its soft, yet little firm, then it means Avocado is ready.
