Avocados (or sometimes ‘Alligator Pears’) are a fruit, containing a large seed inside it. They are grown in tropical climates and one avocado tree can grow up to 1,200 avocados annually. They are often described as a super food as they lower cholesterol levels, protect against breast cancer thanks to the high levels of oleic acid and are also rich in monounsaturated fatty acids. They are stocked full of vitamins A, B6, C, D & E, Riboflavin & Manganese. The only down side is that they are extremely high in calories, at around 400 calories per avocado! |

Firstly, welcome to the new & improved TestYourIntolerance blog. Here we will use this space to write a fortnightly article aimed at highlighting the pros and cons of many common food and non-foods that we include in our 600 item intolerance test. This first blog is about the pros of the ever ripe, ever round, Orange! An orange comes from the citrus family along with lemons, limes and a host of others and are usually (strangely enough) orange. They are available all year around from various warm countries around the globe and are packed full of nutrition. |
