Have yourself an Alligator Pear

Alligator Pear, better known as Avocado, gets a bad rap due to the fact that it is high in fat.  However, 20g of the 30g total fats are monunsaturated fat, which lowers cholesterol.  Avocados contain potassium, a mineral, which helps to regulate blood pressure and combat heart disease.  One avocado provides nearly a quarter of the daily value of folate, which also helps to fight heart disease.

Avocados are also a good source of Vitamins B6, C and K as well as dietary fibre.
