Why avocado oil might be the best oil available

You’ve heard of olive oil, peanut oil, and even coconut oil, but what do you know about avocado oil? A healthier alternative to most types of oil, avocado oil is nutritious, practically flavorless, and can be used in a vast number of ways.

Let’s start with the basics. Avocado oil is made from, you guessed it, avocados. This fruit is about 30% oil and is pressed in the same way as olives to extract the oil. Once it’s been collected and bottled, the oil can be used just like any other, but it’s packed with health benefits other types of oil just can’t boast.

Compared to olive oil, avocado oil is the clear winner. First, it has a high smoke point that’s between 480 and 520 degrees Fahrenheit compared to olive oil’s relatively low smoke point of 430 degrees Fahrenheit. This means you can use avocado oil to fry foods without risking a burnt or bitter taste developing. It also has a lighter flavor than olive oil so your food will taste like it’s supposed to and not the oil you cooked it in.

Monounsaturated fats have been found to decrease LDL cholesterol levels, which may lower the risk of heart disease.

Avocado Oil has more healthy monounsaturated fatty acid than Olive Oil

A big reason people use olive oil is because of its health benefits, including the amount of monounsaturated fats it contains. Monounsaturated fats have been found to decrease LDL cholesterol levels, which may lower the risk of heart disease. At a monounsaturated fatty acid level of 67%, it’s much better than some choices, but once again avocado oil leaves it in the dust with a percentage of 72-76%.

Avocado oil has also been shown to promote nutrient absorption, relieve joint pain, and can be effective for skin diseases like psoriasis. If you look on Pinterest, you’ll find hundreds of ways to use this oil, from cooking with it and making salad dressings to homemade hair masks and DIY makeup removers.
