Avacados for an expensive rich man's diet

Avacados, once referred to as a poor man's butter is now a rich man's butter. They have become very expensive. An avacado, the size of a lemon in the midwest costs a $1.50. I do miss east coast markets where they are twice the size and cost less. Regardless, avacados are worth spending a few dollars as their nutritional value is extremely high. They are high in fat, but monosaturated fat.

Avacados, although smooth to the touch and almost like butter to the taste are a great source of fiber. Other nutrients are vitamin K, vitamin C and vitamin B6, as well as folate, copper and potassium (half of a medium avocado has more potassium than a banana). The avacado fat also aids absorption of carotenoids in other vegetables.
