Avocados!

An avocado is a fruit and not a vegetable! It is actually a member of the berry family. Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, folic acid, B-vitamins. They also act as a “nutrient booster” by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha and betacarotene and lutein, in foods that are eaten with the fruit.
