One medium avocado provides 500–900 mg of potassium, among the highest potassium content of any food. Avocados contain significant magnesium, a key electrolyte that is deficient in most adults. Avocados contain monounsaturated fats that are stable, slow to oxidize, and associated with cardiovascular benefit. Avocado oil's omega-6 content of approximately 10% is much lower than the 40–50%+ found in seed oils, giving it a more anti-inflammatory fatty acid profile.
