Health benefits and nutritional value of avocados

Today’s diners are savvier than ever about what’s on their plate - and avocados punch way above their weight when it comes to adding nutritional value to your dishes. 

Avocados are renowned for being naturally packed with monounsaturated fats - the kind that support heart health and keeps customers feeling satisfied. But that’s not all! Avocados are rich in folate, a vitamin essential for a healthy, functioning immune system. They’re an energy booster and a gut-friendly source of fibre, the list goes on!* 

For you, that’s more than just nutrition - it’s an opportunity to meet the growing demand for healthy options while enhancing the flavour and texture of your dishes.

Avocado-topped grain bowls, hearty breakfasts, or even indulgent desserts, avocados flip the script by adding creaminess without relying on dairy. Even the Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend replacing butter with healthy avocado.  It’s all about giving your customers what they want - delicious food that’s as healthy as it is satisfying.
