Benefits and properties
The Sicilian Hass avocado is a highly nutritious, well-balanced food: rich in “good” monounsaturated fats, it helps regulate cholesterol and support heart health.
The vitamins A, C, D, E and K strengthen the immune system, improve the skin and counter oxidative stress. It also contains potassium – in greater quantities than bananas – and fibre that support digestion and a feeling of fullness.
Thanks to its balanced energy content and low sugar content, avocado is ideal for a healthy Mediterranean diet, and perfect for athletes and vegetarians too.
