OUR AVOS
Are you aware of the incredible nutritional powerhouse hiding behind that smooth, creamy exterior of avocados? Allow us to shed some light on why this fruit is a must-have addition to your diet.
Avocados are a treasure trove of essential nutrients, boasting a remarkable array of benefits for your health and well-being. Here's why they deserve a prime spot on your plate:
Heart Health: Avocados are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Fibre-Rich: They are an excellent source of dietary fiber, aiding in digestion, promoting a feeling of fullness, and helping maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Potassium Power: Avocados contain more potassium than bananas! This mineral helps regulate blood pressure, muscle contractions, and nerve function.
Vitamins Galore: Avocados are packed with vitamins, including B vitamins, vitamin K, vitamin C, and vitamin E, all of which play crucial roles in various bodily functions.
Antioxidant Arsenal: They are loaded with antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health and may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.
Nutrient Absorption: Avocados can enhance the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients from other foods, making them a perfect addition to salads or as a topping.
Healthy Fats: These fruits provide healthy fats that nourish your skin, hair, and nails, keeping them glowing and vibrant.
Weight Management: The combination of fibre and healthy fats helps control appetite and may aid in weight management.
Brain Function: Avocado's folate content supports cognitive function and can contribute to improved memory and concentration.
Versatility: Avocados are incredibly versatile and can be incorporated into various dishes, from smoothies to salads, sandwiches, and even desserts.
OUR AVOS
While grade one avocados are typically reserved for the export market, we believe Kiwis deserve nothing less. That's why we've cut out the middleman and are bringing our premium export-grade avocados directly to your doorstep!
Each and every one of our avocados is hand-picked with care by us, the Orchards. We never cold-pack them, ensuring they maintain their exceptional flavour and texture while enjoying minimal transit times. What's more, they're handled by only a single pair of hands before they make their way to your home.
Our commitment extends beyond just picking the finest avocados. We spend our days nurturing our trees, constantly seeking natural ways to enhance the quality of both the avocados and the trees themselves. We take immense pride in our orchard and firmly believe that our year-round hard work yields some of the best avocados available in the country.
There's something truly special and significant about growing a food as nutritionally dense as avocados, and we couldn't be more thrilled to share this goodness with fellow Kiwis. Taste the difference for yourself…
We do things by the book.
We are audited by Global GAP for good horticultural practice and hold a food safety certificate issued by MPI.
