Guacamole is an avocado-based dip or sauce. The figures here describe a homemade recipe, so the nutrient content may vary with the ingredients used. It mainly provides fat, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate and protein, alongside vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, this recipe provides 13g of fat, including 2.7g of saturated fat, 13mg of vitamin C and 364mg of potassium.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, which is important for skin and other tissues. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. For people watching their salt intake, the amount of salt added during preparation and any foods served alongside the guacamole are worth noting. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
