Hass Avocado Composition and Potential Health Effects

Hass Avocado Composition and Potential Health Effects

April 19, 2022 By Paul

Commerically speaking, the most common avocado is the Hass avocado. This fruit contains many essential nutrients, as well as phytochemicals. Studies have shown that people who consume avocados have more dietary fiber and vitamins K and E than people who do not eat avocados. In particular, this fruit has roughly 80% dietary fiber and large amounts of antioxidant vitamins, such as C and E. Furthermore, studies suggest that avocados can aid in weight control and healthy aging, including eye and skin health.

Key Takeaways:

  • Grown in Florida, Hawaii and California, Haas avocados are the most common avocado cultivars worldwide.
  • Haas avocados are known for being rich in a wide array of essential nutrients.
  • Most avocado-eaters easily consume more than the minimally recommended amount of 1 fifth of an avocado, as most eat at least a half.

“In 1871, avocados were first introduced to the United States in Santa Barbara, California, with trees from Mexico.”
