The above tables show conclusively the high nutritive value of the avocado, 

 both as regards its total calories per pound and the calories per average helping. 

 It should be stated that these latter figures refer to the avocado as such with- 

 out the addition of any mayonnaise, French dressing, or other accessory. The 

 addition of such to the fruit increases, proportionately, the caloric value.
