Avocado Oil & Sea Salt

Avocado oil is a culinary oil pressed from the pulp of the avocado fruit. It is known for its mild flavor and high smoke point, making it versatile for cooking and finishing dishes. The oil is extracted through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction, followed by refining.

Avocado oil is often used in salad dressings, marinades, and for high-heat cooking like frying and sautéing due to its stability. Sea salt is a type of salt harvested from evaporated seawater, prized for its mineral content and distinct flavor profile. It is used as a seasoning and finishing salt in a wide variety of foods, including snacks, baked goods, and main courses.

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. Sea salt is chemically similar to table salt, primarily sodium chloride. Excessive sodium intake is linked to high blood pressure, and the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sodium compounds.
