Both plant-based and animal-derived foods contain varying amounts of different types of fats, including monounsaturated fats.

Plant-based sources of monounsaturated fats include:

  • Nuts, nut butters and nut oils
  • Seeds, seed butters and seed oils
  • High-fat fruits, such as avocados and olives, and foods made from them (guacamole, olive oil, etc.)
  • Whole grains

Animal-derived sources of monounsaturated fats include:

  • Whole milk products
  • Beef fat
  • Pig fat

That second list may be quite surprising. However, it's important to note that those same animal-derived foods also contain high quantities of saturated fat and cholesterol.
