Avocado Nutrition and Health Report
The Avocado Nutrition and Health Report is now available providing a summary of the global body of evidence on avocado nutrition.
The report includes information from a new CSIRO systematic literature review on cardiometabolic health as well as the consensus from an expert roundtable on recommended serving size and frequency of consumption.
It also includes practical information and usage tips to help more Australians reap the health benefits of including more avocados in their diet.
“Whether smashed on toast, slipped into a smoothie, sliced into a salad or spread on bread, avocados are a nutritious, delicious food Australians could eat more of to boost their health and wellbeing. The good news is, avos are the ‘green’ most people like, and they are increasingly affordable.
This nutrition and health report is a good reminder of the many reasons to include a serve of avocado (half an avocado or 75g) in healthy diet recommendations.”
