Consuming Avocado oil

Avocado oil is not only beneficial when consumed – it’s also magnificent for your skin and hair. It is used as an ingredient in natural beauty products because of its moisturizing properties. In comparison to almond, corn, olive, and soybean oils, avocado oil has the highest skin penetration rate. This makes it a popular base for essential oils. It is high in vitamin C which supports healthy collagen production, making it ideal for keeping sun exposed or aging skin supple, while reducing the appearance of lines and age spots. Avocado oil helps soothe the scalp and promote strong healthy hair growth.

Is Avocado oil good for cooking?

Most people love Avocado for both its flavour and well-known health benefits. Avocado oil is a truly versatile oil – it’s excellent for stir-frying, pan-frying, barbecuing or roasting because of its high smoke point (over 250°C). Its smooth buttery taste makes it equally good drizzled over salad. Food connoisseurs world-wide see avocado oil as a special ingredient they can’t live without.
