How Many Carbs Are in Avocados?
An avocado, which is a green, mushy fruit from the avocado tree, contains approximately 15 total carbohydrates (carbs) and approximately 5 “net” carbs. According to the California Avocado Commission, a site recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture, avocados are also high in healthy, unsaturated fats and other nutrients, and they benefit eyesight, cholesterol levels, growth, the nervous system, the heart and the brain. When smashed into a pulp and flavored, this fruit becomes guacamole, a dip usually accompanied by corn chips. The avocado is also popular in egg dishes, sandwiches, sushi and Mexican dishes.
