Enjoy Avocados
Avocados are technically a fruit – large berries with one big seed – in the same family as cinnamon and bay laurel. Avocado trees thrive in the temperate climate of Mexico and California, which are the world’s leaders in the production of avocados.
Avocados have suffered a bad reputation for their high fat content, but one-fourth of a medium avocado contains only 81 calories and contributes a wealth of nutrients, such as dietary fiber, vitamins C and K, and folate.
Avocados are virtually the only fruit that has monounsaturated fat, plus it has a bonus of polyunsaturated fat as well. These fats help reduce blood cholesterol levels and reduce the risk for heart disease. The fruit is rich in carotenoids (plant pigments that act as antioxidants). Carotenoid intake from foods has been linked to immune system enhancement and protecting body cells against damage from free radicals.
When shopping for this tasty fruit, look for those that are firm and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. 
Avocado its a great substitute for butter cream and stuff, just don't abuse.
