Dietitian explains why consuming avocado with tomatoes together have great health benefits

Pairing avocado with tomatoes can create a flavourful combination that enhances the taste and nutritional value of your dishes. Dietitian Garima Goyal shared some reasons why these two ingredients work well together.

Avocados are rich in healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, which can enhance the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients, such as lycopene found in tomatoes.

Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that has been associated with various health benefits, including reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases.

Avocados and tomatoes are both nutrient-dense foods. Avocados are a good source of vitamins E, C, K, and B-6, as well as folate and potassium. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C, and potassium. Pairing these ingredients can provide a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals.

As per Goyal, you can prepare sandwiches, wraps, salads and tacos with avocado and tomatoes along with other vegetables of your choice.
