8. Avocado

Avocado, often called a fruit but eaten as a vegetable, is actually a true berry. Avocados have become incredibly popular over the last few years due to their creamy texture, but they deliver plenty of health benefits too. They are full of healthy fats and rich in nutrients that most people don’t get enough of, such as vitamin E and potassium.

Avocado may lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels and could benefit eye health due to high levels of an antioxidant called lutein.
