                                Despite common misconceptions, a typical Hass avocado contains only about 16% of its total fat as saturated fat, with the vast majority consisting of heart-healthy unsaturated fats. This fact helps clarify that the perception of "high fat" in avocados doesn't necessarily mean high saturated fat.
