Did you know eating avocados and tomatoes together increases their health benefits? The monounsaturated fatty acids in avocado help absorb carotenoids (especially lycopene) in tomatoes. Lycopene, like other carotenoids, has antioxidant properties and can protect the body against ageing and cardiovascular disease. Monounsaturated fatty acids in avocados can also lower ‘bad’ (LDL) cholesterol and help absorb fat soluble vitamins – K, A, D and E. Add kale and sunflower seeds to this vegan mushroom avocado breakfast recipe and you’ll get your vitamin K, A and E fix!
