Monounsaturated Fat 1 article

Monounsaturated Fat refers to fatty acids with one carbon-carbon double bond, with oleic acid being the most common example in many foods. Olive oil, avocado, almonds, peanuts, and high-oleic oils can be rich in this fat category, although each food also contains other fatty acids. Nutrition labeling reports monounsaturated fat as part of the broader fat profile when provided, while ingredient lists identify the oils or foods supplying it; the category is chemically distinct from polyunsaturated and saturated fats.
