What it is

Avocado oil is a cooking oil made from the pulp of the avocado fruit. It is extracted by pressing the fruit, often using a combination of heat and pressure, or by cold-pressing to retain more nutrients and flavor. The resulting oil is typically light green to yellow in color and has a mild, sometimes nutty flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use avocado oil as a cooking oil for sautéing, roasting, and frying due to its high smoke point. It can also be used in salad dressings, marinades, and as a base for sauces. Its mild flavor makes it a versatile choice that doesn't overpower other ingredients.

Health notes

Avocado oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated fats, which are considered heart-healthy fats. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated avocado oil. Research suggests that consuming monounsaturated fats in place of saturated fats may help improve blood cholesterol levels.

Allergen info

Avocado oil is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
