The avocado tree is native to
tropical America. The fruit is now
ripe for eating and can be purchas
ed at the markets and from many
street Vendors. Alligator peas is
often used INTERCHANGEABLE with
avocado. In the classification of a
pear the avocado resembles the
sweet or northern pear in shape
and name only. It grows larger
than the northern pear and con-
tains practically no sugar or starch
It has, however the unusual pro-
perty of being high in fat for 9
fruit, containing one fifth to one
fourth of its edible weight as fat
In fact, its nutty taste is due tc
this nutrient.
The avocado is an excellent sub
Stitute for fat of animal or vege-
table origin. Actually it is more NJ
tritious than the ordinary fats in
our homes because it brings health
materials other than fat calories.
Its pale green color makes it a
fair source of vitamin A. The ave
cado contains appreciate amounts
OF each of the B vitamins neces-
sary for health with especially
high values for NICOTINE acid. For
vitamin c it is comparable to the
tomato. In fact the avocado has
no blank spaces in any Of our rat
ing for vitamins and minerals.
Naturally you would expect me
to place no restrictions on such a
healthy food. But by the virtue of
its high fat content such a sugges-
ton is necessary. Fat carries more
than two times the energy or fat
tening value for carbohydrates.
So, for overweight persons or
those having a tendency toward
obesity avocados should be eaten
in strict moderation. Also, in cases
of liver or gall bladder disturban-
ces where fatty foods are not well
handled the avocado should not be
eaten unless restriction as to quan
tity is named by the physician.
This does not disqualify the
avocado as one of the many nutri-
tious foods of the Islands, for I'M
less fat restriction is noteworthy
in the diet, appetite and taste are
the only limiting factors in the in
take of this health fruit.
