Spinach is a green leafy vegetable rich in various vitamins and minerals. It belongs to a category of extremely low-calorie foods thanks to its very high moisture content.

100 grams of raw spinach contain as little as 23 Calories or 97 kilo Joules of energy. One package of 10 ounces of raw spinach weighing 284 grams provides us about 65.3 Calories (275 kJ) of energy.

Avocados fall under low to moderate calorie foods category. One cup of avocado cubes weighing 150 grams contain 240 Calories or 1000 kJ of energy.

Majority of these Calories are from the fat present in these fruits. One cup of these fruit cubes contain 22 grams of fat.

We made a full video explaining the complete nutrition facts and health benefits of avocados. I would suggest you to watch it to learn more.
