Here are some notes when eating this fruit:
- Eat avocados in moderation: Nutritionists recommend eating only half an avocado a day. The best amount is 2 tablespoons (1/6 of butter) because each tablespoon will give you about 55 calories and 5 grams of fat.
- Eat the dark green flesh of an avocado: Many people use a spoon to scrape an avocado but accidentally remove the dark green flesh under the skin. This is a bad habit as this is the most nutritious part of the avocado. So, if you skip this part, you’ve inadvertently taken away the largest amount of nutrients from the avocado.
- Limit eating avocados when you have liver diseases: The amount of collagen in avocados will accumulate and damage the liver if you eat too much avocado, making them unable to fully digest.
