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.

Basically the fibre in avocado is combined with water to form a soft gel. This gel sticks to itself in an orderly manner, forming what’s known as a ‘gel matrix’.
The purpose of this is to hold the fat in place, suspended within the fruit. Without it the water and fat would naturally separate and cause the avocado to spoil much more swiftly.
