Perhaps it’s unfair for this generation to be labelled as overly obsessed with avocados. After all, we can’t be blamed if this delicious and versatile superfood is highly addictive while being full of nutrients too at the same time.

Be it on toast, as a guacamole, in a drink, ice cream or fudge, there’s no denying that avocado dishes are here to stay for a long time. And if you’re wondering where to go to satisfy your craving for this green buttery delight, here’s a list of 11 places to get your avocado fix right here in Singapore.

FRUCE

Don’t be put off by their Durian Avocado drinks—or the idea of durian mixed with avocado—, they mesh well together and taste rather light despite their rich texture.

Given the creamy nature of the two fruits, it feels like drinking pure durian, so much so that this indulgent drink might be better off shared among friends.

SUGAR THIEVES

Try Sugar Thieves’ avocado mousse cake, coined the “Avo” (S$8.90). It was a pretty petite piece that made us do a double take; it looked so much like an actual avocado! Well, they used an actual avocado peel for the base.

Taking a scoop of the creamy avocado cheesecake mousse revealed the chocolate sponge cake underneath. The addition of the “seed”—a macadamia nut praline—brought the cake to a whole new level, adding an element of savoury to it. This is the kind of cake you bring home to mama.

Avocados are one of the most beneficial fruits for you. They have been dubbed a SuperFood because of their superior qualities of having a lot more folate, potassium, vitamin E and magnesium than most fruits out there.

Creamy, rich and all-around delicious, avocado is a favourite among many and the ways to enjoy them are aplenty! From avocado smoothies to avocado salads, avocados’ creamy texture makes it one versatile fruit, but even when eaten on its own, it is delicious.

Here are 10 Health Benefits of Avocado That Will Make You Start Eating Avocados Now.

#1 ANTIOXIDANT-LOADED

Besides being able to significantly increase antioxidant absorption from other foods, they are also high in Lutein and Zeaxanthin (antioxidants). These particular antioxidants are essential to maintain one’s eye health and bring down the risk of potential macular degeneration and cataracts.

#2 FIBRE-FILLED

Avocados are very high in fibre – about 7% by weight, which exceeds the fibre content in most other foods. The fibre in avocados aid in weight loss and also benefits your metabolic health.

#3 FILLED WITH GOOD FATTY ACIDS

The fatty acids in avocado is heart-healthy. Avocados in general are high in monounsaturated oleic acid, which is also one of the main reasons why olive oil is deemed as healthy too. Oleic acid has been proven to reduce inflammation, and also has helpful effects on genes linked to cancer.

#4 HIGH IN POTASSIUM

High potassium intake can potentially reduce blood pressure, meaning that chances of heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure are also reduced. Avocados contain a lot of potassium, much more than fruits like the banana.

#5 NUTRIENT-RICH

Avocado is loaded with so much vitamins, and so much more. A nutrient-rich diet is always the healthier option.

#6 AID IN WEIGHT LOSS

Because of the high fibre content, you can potentially lose weight if you consume avocado regularly. This is why avocados can be found in many healthy food and meals.

#7 LOWERS YOUR CHOLESTEROL

Studies have shown that the regular consumption of avocado aids in lowering your cholesterol, especially low-density lipoprotein – or what we know as LDL, the bad cholesterol in our body.

#8 POTENTIALLY PREVENTS CANCER

There is not enough evidence to prove this because avocado does wonders, research shows that the nutrients in avocados may have benefits in preventing prostate cancer, and lowering side effects of chemotherapy in some cells.

#9 RELIEVES ATHRITIC SYMPTOMS

Much research has shown that extracts from avocado oil may lower symptoms of arthritis of the bones, called osteoarthritis. However, this study is only proven for these extracts and not the avocado fruit itself.

#10 THEY ARE VERY DELICIOUS

To wrap things off, avocado is delicious through and through. It is a SuperFood that should be incorporated into your meals and with so many benefits, there is totally no reason to shun the pretty green fruit!
