By Mrunal | Updated: 06/02/2019

Avocado, a fruit of Mexican origin, is grabbing a good enough space on our platter because of its high content of healthy fats – the MUFA’s (monounsaturated fatty acids). Apart from this, avocado is a storehouse for a broad range of vitamins, especially the fat-soluble vitamins. Pass on the benefits of this Mexican fruit to your baby, by serving this creamy avocado puree.
