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.

Not all fiber is roughage. Not all roughage is beneficial fiber, and excessive amounts of certain “high fiber” foods can actually cause long term irritation/inflamation for some people (looking at you, kale).
