People use Avocado to make smoothies, eat it raw, or sometimes even create a desert.

Well, the world is full of creative and tasty eating alternatives but avocado adds health to it.

Avocado, the trendiest fruit of this time, which is known for its incredibly nutritious benefits. But let’s not go with words and dive into the pool of facts.

So here is the data researched and studied by the USDA about the nutritive excellence of avocado.

(Note: The values of nutrition content are derived with a portion of 100 g)

The amount of energy is 192 g, Protein 15.38 g, Fiber 7.7 g, Potassium 423 mg, Sodium 692 mg.

Avocado is seen to have really high potassium therefore it supports fluid regulation, muscle contraction & nerve signals.

2. Heart friendly

The nutritious value of avocado makes it a wonderful diet alternative for heart patients too. As you can see in the data above.

The avocado is seen to have a high-fat content that may lead you to concern!

But to make it clear, let me tell you “the majority of fat in avocado is monounsaturated fat which will help you lower the LDL level making it good for the heart”. 

A study from Pennsylvania State found that eating one avocado a day has real heart-healthy benefits.  

3. Anti-inflammatory properties

The fruit is full of anti-inflammatory properties which are extracted from the seeds of avocado.

Researches also prove that it serves as a very high source of anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as high-quality food ingredients or pharmaceuticals.   

So how do anti-inflammatory properties really help? 

Well, let me take you to a quick tour of understanding about inflammation. In simple words, it is your body’s way to protect itself from infection or injury.

A body with a high inflammatory response tends to have a high production of white blood cells, immune cells, and they also produce high cytokines that help in fighting infection. 

4. Protect eyes

A study says that the green color pigment present in avocado helps in keeping eyesight strong and protect some of the common eye problems such as cataract, glaucoma, and degeneration. 
Another nutrient that is extremely high on Avocado which makes it a perfect option for people facing eye-related is vitamin A. 

5. Regulates Blood Pressure

The benefits of Avocado does not end here. The fruit consists of oleic acid which promises to reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol level. 

As we have discussed above, it also consists of high potassium and folate making it essential for good heart health, ultimately leading to proper regulation of blood pressure.

6. Help in relieving from arthritis pain

“Avocado helps in reducing arthritis pain.”

Evidence to the above statement is the dietary supplements that are used to treat moderate pain and reduce the consumption of NSAID’s.

It helps in reducing the pain and modify the symptoms of EULAR because of the presence of chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronan, and glucosamine sulfate.

7. Healthy for pregnant women

Avocados are one of those popular fruits which never stops amazing us with the benefits it provides.

As it consists of all the nutrients that a baby needs like vitamin C, fiber, magnesium, folate, and vitamin K. 

So If you are pregnant or planning for a baby, don’t forget to always add Avocado in your shopping list. 

8. Loaded With Fiber

Avocado helps in reducing weight as it consists of high fiber. Avocados are really rich in Vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin E, potassium, and many Vitamin B. 

When we talk numerically Avocado consists of approx 6.7% fiber.

9. Lower Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels

The fruit helps in lowering cholesterol and triglyceride level. It involves the type of unsaturated fats that are considered to be a healthy type of fat.

The fats existing in avocado, i.e. both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats help in lowering blood cholesterol levels that make it a very healthy food.

10. Cancer

The presence of folate in Avocado has shown results in protecting against the colon, pancreatic, and cervical cancers. 

The reason behind this is the undesirable mutations in DNA and RNA during cell division. 

Research also claimed that the presence of phytochemicals extracted from avocado can help in the inhibition of the growth of some cancerous cells.

Know About Microgreens | Types & Uses

What are microgreens? 

It is quite simple to extract the meaning for the name itself, “microgreens” which means “the micro variants of matured plants”.

Microgreens are the budding stage of plants, it is the time when leaves merely start to grow and shoots are 2-3 inches tall. They can be grain, herb, or vegetables cultivated in a growing medium and harvested within a few weeks before developing the first plant of grown leaves.

In the year 1980 microgreens commenced showing up on menus and for the first time, they were seen formally seen in chefs’ menus at San Francisco.

Slowly and gradually the idea was accepted all over the world. And now microgreens are in one of the leading positions for organic lovers.

Hey, don’t get confused with sprouts, microgreens are entirely different!

So let’s move towards understanding different types of microgreens and see what they truly are.

Types of microgreen

Microgreens family! 

There are many varieties that stand under the category of microgreens and the name may sound familiar to you which are Onion, Beetroot, Cabbage, Amaranth red, Radish White, Broccoli, Cauliflower, and a few others.
