Avocado oil also has numerous health benefits, largely related to its content of antioxidants and healthy fats.

1. Rich in oleic acid, a very healthy fat
Avocado oil is the natural oil pressed from the pulp of an avocado. Almost 70% of avocado oil consists of heart-healthy oleic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source).

2. Reduces cholesterol and improves heart health
Avocado oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are linked with better heart health (5).

Many more benefits at link including benefits to heart & eyes! I bought some at Aldi, at the suggestion of my healthcare provider, & used it today in vinegar cole slaw. Omg, it's so good!

Enjoy!

1. Meant to let you know that the Hazel Holt book I ordered was enjoyable.

Middle aged woman Sheila Mallory solving crimes in a small English village. Very cozy, easy to read. I ordered a second one I will read next. Light entertainment. I bought them from with thriftbooks.com or Alibris.com

2. Beware of poor quality and outright fraud...

Most avocado oils tested in a 2020 study were oxidized/spoiled, diluted, or simply not avocado oil.

4. Thx for heads up!

Gawd, nothing is sacred anymore.

This brand is supposed to be cold pressed, but the cap will not screw back on. Concerning regarding oxidation.

5. I hate when that happens. I got very skittish about olive oil when I found out many are

diluted with "mystery" oils. If I'm gonna use olive oil I'll stick with California olive oil. By Cali Law It has to be the real deal 100%.. Expensive. Maybe California avocado oil?
I try to stay away from oils in my diet. I'll eat the whole fruit instead. Olives and avocado..
I make a simple vinaigrette using sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard and mix well. While mixing I put in small pieces of avocado for fat. Stop when you get to the consistency you like. Maybe a touch of Braggs liquid amino's for salt. If you can't find avocado use guacamole instead..
A thought...
