Avocados

Avocados are sometimes thought of as a vegetable but they are actually a fruit and contain more nutrients than any other fruit. Avocados have the highest protein content of any fruit and are rich in monounsaturated fat, the 'good' type of fat, which helps prevent heart disease. The high calorie content of avocado makes them a good food for growing children.
