Here’s the juicy part. Avocado’s vitamin C isn’t just sitting there looking pretty. It’s a co-factor for enzymes. That’s fancy talk for “helper molecule.” Without it, the avocado can’t make collagen or antioxidants properly.
So that vitamin C is busy holding up the avocado’s internal structure. It keeps the fruit from rotting too fast. Yes, you read that right. The vitamin C in an avocado helps the avocado survive. It’s the fruit’s little bodyguard.
And guess what? When you eat that avocado, you steal that bodyguard for your own body. Thank you, avocado soldier.

But Wait—Does Cooking Kill It?
