Monounsaturated Fat

fat Unit: g

Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) have one double bond in their carbon chain and remain liquid at room temperature. They are the predominant fat in olive oil, avocados, and many nuts. Replacing saturated fat with MUFAs in the diet tends to lower LDL cholesterol without reducing HDL, a pattern central to the cardiovascular benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
