This naturally nutrient-dense fruit provides nearly 20 vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients with relatively few calories. They are sodium and cholesterol-free and they contain the same good fats like nuts and olive oil. In fact, Avocados from South Africa are even a great first food for babies! And since creamy, delicious avocados are so satisfying to eat, they'll fill you up but they won't slow you down.
Avocados are listed as the #1 cleanest fruit on the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) 2018 'Clean 15' list. The list is a consumer-friendly guide to fruits and vegetables that contain the least amount of pesticides. Of the avocados tested by the EWG, less than 1% tested positive for pesticides and only one type of pesticide was found, earning avocados the first place ranking!
