Avocado
The avocado tree belongs to the laurel family and its fruits are very fatty. When the fruit is ripe, its pulp becomes soft and creamy. Because of its high fat content, it's not advisable (within an average consummation of calories) to eat more than half an avocado a day. It's best to not eat them together with sweet fruits.
Avocado halves should be packed air-tight and can be stored one to two days in the fridge.
