You got me there Travis.Just checked. The Florida ones are ten percent fat by mass. I am a subscriber to the Journal Avocado Aficionado (kidding about that, but they really are ten percent fat).
Did you mean PUFAs are 10% of the total fat?
I just realized I wasn't clear about what I meant by 12% fat in my earlier post. I meant that according to my calculation of the data from Nutrition Data, the PUFA content of total fat in avocado is 12%. I was hoping to get some data on tropical avocados, such as those from the Philippines or areas with similar latitude. I'm pretty sure the PUFA content would be lower, but how low would it get? Would it be possible for avocados from countries around the equator be zero-PUFA?
And no, I'm not hanging by a thread here to save the avocado
