AVOCADO FACTS
- One avocado contains 81 mcg of Lutein, an important nutrient for healthy eyes.
- Avocados contain more potassium than bananas.
- Once an avocado is picked, it takes between 7 and 10 days to ripen. Keeping it in the refrigerator will slow down the ripening process, while a paper bag with a ripe apple will speed up the process.
