1 piece (small) of Baby Avocado (80 g) has 128 calories. That works out to 160 calories per 100 g. It contains 6.8 g of carbs, 1.6 g of protein, 11.8 g of fat and 5.4 g of fiber. Its 1.1 mg of B5 covers 22% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Baby Avocado refers to a small, pear-shaped avocado with dark green, slightly pebbled skin, creamy pale-green flesh and a single round pit. It is generally a size description rather than one distinct variety, and is grown in the same avocado-producing regions as larger fruit.
Its flavour is mild and buttery, and the flesh is soft enough to mash or slice. Depending on where you live, enjoy it on toast, in salads or bowls, or simply with a squeeze of lemon; in avocado-growing regions it is also commonly served fresh alongside meals. It provides mostly unsaturated fat and fibre, with 6.7 g of fibre per 100 g. Its small size makes it handy when you want a modest portion.

Very high
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

A ripe Baby Avocado gives slightly when you press it gently, but it should not feel mushy or have deep dents. The skin colour alone is not a reliable test, since it can vary by variety; check firmness near the stem as well.
No. Baby Avocado usually refers to a small avocado variety or fruit, not an ordinary avocado picked before it ripens. Like larger avocados, it develops creamy flesh as it ripens and has a pit inside.
To speed up ripening, place Baby Avocados in a paper bag at room temperature with a banana or apple. Keep the bag out of direct sun and check the fruit daily so it does not become overly soft.
You can eat the skin, but it is often tough or bitter, so most people peel a Baby Avocado and eat the flesh. If you choose to eat the skin, wash the fruit well and try a small piece first.
Brush the exposed flesh of a cut Baby Avocado with lemon or lime juice, then press wrap against the surface or place it in an airtight container. Refrigerate it and use it soon; browning is mainly caused by contact with air.
Yes, you can freeze Baby Avocado flesh, though it will be softer after thawing. Remove the pit, mash the flesh with a little lemon or lime juice, and freeze it in an airtight container for use in dips, dressings, or smoothies.
Set the Baby Avocado on a stable cutting board and slice around the pit lengthwise, turning the fruit rather than forcing the knife through the pit. Twist the halves apart and remove the pit with a spoon; its small size can make it slippery to handle.
A whole ripe Baby Avocado generally keeps longer in the refrigerator than on the counter, but its condition matters more than a fixed deadline. Check it regularly and discard it if it develops mould, an off smell, or unusually slimy flesh.
Small brown patches in Baby Avocado flesh can come from bruising or overripening and do not automatically mean the whole fruit is spoiled. Cut away the affected area if the rest looks and smells normal; discard it if there is mould or an unpleasant smell.
Baby Avocado does not cause weight gain by itself, but its fat makes it energy-dense for its size. Its creamy texture can make a small serving satisfying; take the amount you want to eat rather than adding it without noticing to an already filling meal.
