Avocado, formerly known as avocado. It is a fruit tree of the genus Avocado in the family Lauraceae, native to South America. Chinese consumers have not eaten avocado for a long time, that is, these years have only begun. There are not many places to grow avocados in China, and the world's avocado growing power is Mexico and Bilu.
Mexico accounts for 50% of the world's avocado production, and avocados are also mainly exported. However, there are very few avocados exported to China, mainly exported to the United States, France, Japan and other countries.
At the same time, the consumption of avocados in China is also very small.
In recent years, avocados have become popular under the name "avocado". When many merchants promote avocados, they say that avocados can be used to lose weight and are the fruit of weight loss.
So, is this true?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" how hard are avocados >? </h1>
The avocados we see in supermarkets usually look like this:
But in fact, the avocado is not only like this, the avocado in the world also looks like this:
This is called a long-necked avocado. It is relatively rare in China.
Avocado varieties are usually divided into Mexican, Guatemalan, West Indies three major populations, the current three major populations in China have been introduced cultivation, but the planting area is not large, the yield is not too high, so the price of avocados in the supermarket will be so expensive.
What really impresses consumers with avocados is the flesh of the avocados.
The flesh of an avocado is very different from the flesh of other fruits. The flesh of the avocado has almost no moisture, and the whole flesh is like a large piece of butter or lard, which is very greasy and does not have any sweetness. To say that it is a fruit is a bit far-fetched, and it can be completely classified as an oil crop.
There are 2 kinds of people who have eaten avocados, one is people who want to eat them, and the other is people who eat them and no longer want to eat them.
For people who have never eaten avocados, you can find a piece of potato, cook it, and then pour some lard and mix it up. That's about the question.
In the past, most people had 2 impressions of avocados, the first was a strange taste, and the second was a high price. The taste of avocados is basically the same, but the price is differentiated. The avocados sold in the general market are not instant avocados, and they need to be bought and cooked at home. Ripe avocados will make their flesh soft to the touch. Buy your own hard avocados and cook them yourself, the price is a little cheaper. If you buy avocados that can be eaten directly by picking them up, the price is much higher.
Most people eat avocados dipped in some, such as chili noodles, soy sauce, mustard, etc.
People who think that avocados are very unpalatable are actually misconceptions about the positioning of avocados, and if you don't treat avocados as fruits, you probably won't find it so unpalatable. In our inherent cognition, fruits are large in moisture and high in sweetness, and avocados do not have both, which is not at all the fruits in everyone's inherent cognition, and the gap in psychological expectations has led to the avocado has been criticized and condemned.
Avocados taste like lard or butter, but in fact, they contain the same nutrients as lard or butter, and are super fat.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" >avocados junk fruit? </h1>
The fat content of avocados is about 20%-30%, this fat content scares off a lot of "thin" people, most fruits are fat-free, avocado fat content is so high, according to common sense, it is difficult for someone to associate it with "slimming god fruit".
In addition, avocado 100g contains 160 kcal of calories, and the calories are also very high.
Therefore, when many people know the nutritional content and calories of avocados, they can't help but scold avocados as "garbage fruits", which is the same as many people scolding instant noodles.
So a very strange phenomenon appeared:
On the one hand, many merchants are touting avocados as "weight loss fruits", and eating avocados can lose weight.
On the other side are some people who popularize the nutritional composition of avocados and beat avocados into the list of "junk fruits".
What's going on here? Which side is right?
First of all, avocados are not junk fruits. Most of the fats contained in avocados are unsaturated fats, which are beneficial to the human body. In addition, avocados also contain protein, which is also very nutritious for people.
To put it bluntly, avocados are more like "pork in fruits", is pork a junk meat? Definitely not. Similarly, avocados are not junk fruits. Some people think that avocado garbage is an inherent concept of what to eat and what to eat in their minds, and they think that if they eat fat, they will grow fat and become fat.
If the human digestive system is really so simple, I will not do anything, eat turtles every day, and live for 1,000 years.
It's not like that, the fat in the pork is not a bad thing, the fat in the avocado is not a bad thing, the key is how you eat it. As the only "fat-based fruit" that is almost the only commercialized "fatty fruit", the value of avocado cannot be underestimated, which is also a major reason why many people are pursuing avocado at present.
Are those who eat avocados all day to lose weight and one avocado a day be fooled by the merchants? Are you paying the IQ tax?
Some people are, but there are also people who are not.
Weight loss is a sensitive topic, and we are reluctant to talk about it, but we still have to talk about the issue of avocados.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" >avocado is a weight loss god fruit? </h1>
If someone says to you, "You can get skinny by eating avocados often," you can just give him a big ear post. This is not the right statement. The core of weight loss is not what you eat more, but what you eat less.
If you nibble on white-faced steamed buns, drink high-sugar drinks, have something to do with a bottle of beer, and get some chicken, duck and fish meat, at this time, no matter how you eat avocados, it is impossible to lose weight, but the more you eat, the faster you get fat.
Avocados will not help you lose weight, and the calories of avocados are not low, but will make you grow fatter.
Therefore, avocados are not the fruit of weight loss.
However, avocados are also weight loss fruits.
Why?
Because the avocado weight loss is based on a set of scientific weight loss theory. This set of weight loss profits is called "ketogenic weight loss", you can simply understand it as "eating meat to lose weight" or "low-carbon water weight loss", that is, eat less sugary or carbohydrate-high food, eat more meat with high fat, so as to achieve the purpose of weight loss.
Doesn't that sound counterintuitive?
Most people think that gaining weight is because they eat too much meat. Actually, not necessarily. Some people eat abalone, lobster, big fish, and big meat every day and don't get fat, and some people eat steamed buns every day and get fat. The biggest reason for weight gain is in "refined carbohydrates", typically beer and high-sugar drinks.
A simple understanding of these is enough, after all, we are fruit science, not weight loss bloggers. The weight loss of avocado is based on the above theory.
If you lose weight according to the ketogenic weight loss method, whether you eat avocado or not actually has little to do with it, you just need to eat enough fat. Instead of eating avocados, you can also eat pork belly, all of which are OK.
However, many people want to eat fruit in this process, but the fruits are relatively high in sugar, so they can only choose avocados.
Avocados are high in fat, which can indeed enhance the effect of ketogenic weight loss.
However, if you do not do ketogenic weight loss at all, how much avocado you eat, you will not lose weight, but you may still be fat.
Don't think of avocados as "weight loss gods", not because you eat avocados or not, but because you eat less.
