Calories in Avocado, Hass, peeled
Botanically a giant berry, named after the Aztec word for "testicle"
What makes avocado so powerful?
Avocados have been eaten in what's now Mexico since roughly 10,000 BC, with cultivation starting around 5,000 years ago in the Puebla region. The name traces back to the Aztec word "Δhuacatl," a nod to the fruit's shape as it hangs in pairs from the tree. Botanically, it's not a vegetable at all β it's a single-seeded berry, distantly related to cinnamon. What makes it nutritionally unusual is that it's one of the few fruits that's mostly fat, and that fat is overwhelmingly the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind found in olive oil. That's also why avocado does something most produce can't: it helps your body absorb more of the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) from the other vegetables on your plate.
Add a few slices to salads or roasted vegetables specifically to boost vitamin absorption, not just for creaminess. Avocados ripen off the tree, so store unripe ones in a paper bag with a banana to speed it up by a day or two, and add lemon or lime juice to cut fruit to slow browning.
