Avocado'shave become a trendy staple food for many - but now there's an even nicer way to enjoy them.

They also contain high amounts of folate, copper, potassium, Vitamin K and Vitamin E -while boasting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that have even been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease.
