Avocado and Ayurveda

What’s not to love about avocado! Most people love avocados and they’re easy to love with their rich and flavourful taste.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, Avocado is great for pacifying excess Vata and Pitta Doshas. When consumed in excess, it can increase Kapha dosha.

The qualities of avocado are similar to those of Kapha:

• - Guru (heavy)

• - Slimy

• - Brimhana (building)

• - Shita (cooling)

• - Dense

• - Madhura (Sweet)

Not to worry. In balanced consumption, avocados pack a great nutritional boost. Rich in healthy fats, antioxidants and fibre.

We wish you a beautiful start to the weekend.
