Avocado Oil
Avocado oil, in addition to being delicious is another good-for-you oil. It is loaded with vitamins, A, B, D, E as well as proteins and lecithin. Naturally occurring lecithin prevents the oil from separating. Avocado oil has also been shown to have anti-wrinkle, anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant properties. In other words, it is really good for you!
Rich in monounsaturated fats, avocado oil also has a very high smoking point well over 500°F making it ideal for frying or sautéing. You will also find that when used in salads its subtle flavor does not clash with or interfere with the other flavors. If you like homemade mayonnaise, this is the ideal oil for you. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.
