Avocado oil

Avocado oil is a type of oil pressed out of the pulp of avocados. It can be used raw, or in cooking at a high heat. It is a source of monounsaturated fats.

Quality
A study from the University of California, Davis in 2020 found that a majority of avocado oil sold in the US is either spoiled before its expiration date or is spoiled with other oils. In some cases, the researchers found that bottles labeled as “pure” or “extra virgin” avocado oil is soybean oil.
