OKAY, SO WE KNOW AVOCADOS TASTE AMAZING, BUT JUST
HOW GOOD FOR
YOU ARE THEY?
ANSWER, VERY. (see below)

seriously, mORE OF THE GOOD STUFF
Just one Delcado avocado is packed with almost 20 healthy nutrients. You know, the good stuff, such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre and loads of good fats(1). The good fats in a Delcado can also help your body absorb more nutrients from other foods. Research shows adding avocado to a salad can increase your ability to absorb goodies from other ingredients five-fold (1).
NO CARBS HERE
Delcados are naturally free of carbohydrates and sugars. Actually, Delcados make any diet taste better. Low-carb, keto, Mediterranean, gluten-free, lactose-free, plant-based, vegan - no matter which diet you fancy, you can always enjoy a Delcado. We like to make things simple.
SKINCARE THAT’S DELICIOUS
Don’t waste a Delcado smearing them on your face to make your skin look better. Just eat them. Seriously. Delcado avocados will help give your skin a natural glow thanks to their good fats and nutrients such as niacin and vitamin E (1).
NEED ANOTHER REASON TO SMASH A DELCADO ON YOUR SOURDOUGH?
How about six. The nutrients in Delcado avocados can help keep your immune system fighting fit, boost your energy, increase brain power, look after your sight, and can even put you in a better mood (1).
Delcado avocados are also a cracking snack before you work out. Whether it’s leg day or abs, the potassium in an avocado will help with hydration and keep your muscles firing on all cylinders (1). A Delcado avocado has more potassium than a banana! (5)
Good news. The doc says we need to eat more avos to make sure we’re getting all the health benefits. So go on, get smashing.
kEEPING YOUR HEART AND GUTS HEALTHY
Delcados are great for your heart and gut (1). Delcado avocados contain heart-healthy fats and plenty of nutrients to help protect your ticker, such as fibre, polyphenols, vitamin E and potassium*. Delcado avocados are a source of fibre and help the bugs in your gut thrive*. And that’s a great thing for better gut health.
Avo lovers also have a lower BMI, smaller waist and gain less weight as they get older (1-4). Pass another Delcado, please.
MUMS AND BUBS
No wonder Delcados are one of mums’ favourite things to eat and feed their little ones. Avocados contain plenty of nutrients needed to support mums and bubs growth and development, such as folate, vitamin E, vitamin K and potassium (1).
