It says here avocado has like 6g fibre, where other sources said regular vegetables like broccoli has only 2 in the same serving size. Point being every website i looked at says avocado has more fibre then broccoli, which makes no sense to me, avocado is a glob of soft mushy thing where broccoli has structure and is tough. Do they eat the core and skin as well? Is that how they were supposed to be eaten? Please explaine to me how can avocado has more fibre.

Soluble fiber and insoluble fiber are different beasts, and they serve completely different functions in the body
Soluble fiber is a gel like substance that helps take the place of other stabilizing agents in things like avocados and some fruits. It is digestible, and it helps lower insulin overresponse, regulate blood sugar, and promote satiety.
Insoluble fiber is a series of strands that provide structure for plants. It is indigestible, and thus passes through our bodies quickly, pulling other things along with it, loosening stool and helping clear the digestive tract. It also is basically calorie neutral.
Both are fiber, both are important in moderation.
