Carlsbad Avocado

Classified primarily as the Guatemalan type, the Carlsbad avocado has a tapered ovate shape with smooth, medium-thick skin that turns a black-purple color when ripe. Besides, the flesh of this fruit offers good oil content and a tasty, nutty avocado flavor. As a matter of fact, avocados have a reputation as being high in fat, but the oil in them is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, which is relatively healthy and can actually help lower blood cholesterol levels. These fruits also provide many essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins, and folic acid. Besides, they are known as a nutrient booster because they enable the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients.
