What it is

Avocado oil is a cooking oil made from the pulp of the avocado fruit. The oil is extracted from the flesh of the avocado, typically through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. It is known for its mild flavor and high smoke point.

Why it's used

Avocado oil is used as a cooking oil for frying, sautéing, and roasting due to its stability at high temperatures. It is also found in salad dressings, marinades, and as a finishing oil for dishes. Manufacturers use it for its flavor and cooking properties.

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. JECFA has evaluated avocado oil and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Research suggests that replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats like those in avocado oil may help improve blood cholesterol levels.

Allergen info

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