FRUIT
Melons, citrus fruits and pineapple do not store starch that can be converted to sugar, as most fruits do. This means they will not get sweeter after they are picked, but they will improve in texture.
Very few fruits contain fat: avocados, olives and nuts are the only ones with significant amounts.
Avocados are about 22% fat, with the average medium size avocado containing 300 calories and 30 grams of fat.
One cup of unsweetened shredded coconut has 26 grams fat and 283 calories.
The average banana contains .6 grams fat.
