It contains a sufficient amount of vitamin A to maintain high resistance against bacterial infection, a quality possesed by few vegetable fats. The composition of Avocado is almost identical with tht of milk. The Avacado is an excellent food remedy in acute digestive disorders. The Avacado is far superior to any mouth lotion freshner or remedies for bad breath. The protein of Avacado is of finest quality and is much superior to protein of cereal foods.

The avocado is a large fleshy pear-shaped berry. It has a single large seed surrounded by buttery pulp and a hard skin .It is yellowish green to maroon in color. The avocado tree is evergreen. It is shallow- rooted and there are no visible root hairs. It has spirally-arranged leaves, variable in shape and size and fragrant yellowish flowers.

The avocado contains more fat than any other fruit except the olive. Its fat is of the highest quality, wholly free from the unpleasant butyric acid with which many fats are contaminated. It contains sufficient amount of vitamin A to maintain high resistance against bacterial infection, a quality possessed by few vegetable fats.

The protein of avocado is of the finest quality and is much superior to protein of bread and other cereal foods. Its composition is almost identical with that of milk. In fact, the pulp of the fruit is so free from fiber that it forms, with water, a fine emulsion which closely resembles milk in consistency and appearance. With the exception of an excess of fat and the lack of vitamin C, it may serve as a very satisfactory substitute for dairy milk. Prepared thus, the avocado may be given safely to young infants and to the feeble invalids.
