What it is

Avocados are a fruit native to Mexico and Central America. They grow on trees and have a creamy texture with a large pit. The flesh is typically eaten fresh, though it can be processed for other uses.

Why it's used

Avocados are often used as a fat substitute in baked goods and processed foods due to their smooth texture. They are also popular in dips, spreads, and as a topping for savory dishes. Their mild flavor allows them to blend well with other ingredients.

Health notes

Avocados are recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a good source of monounsaturated fats, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated avocados and found them safe for consumption. Evidence suggests that regular consumption of avocados, as part of a balanced diet, is associated with positive health outcomes.

Allergen info

Avocados are not one of the nine major allergens designated by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
