My New Favorite Oil ~ Avocado Oil

Avocado Oil is the juice of the first, cold pressing of quality ripe Avocados. It has the aroma of globe artichokes and celery with the rich, buttery flavor of avocado.

The benefits of avocado oil are delivered from its rich fatty acids and Vitamins. Nutritionally, avocado oil ranks comparably to olive oil with a copious amount of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is also loaded with proteins, lecithin, beta-carotene and vitamins A, D and E.

Monounsaturated fatty acids are usually found in plant products such as avocados and olives and their oils. The monounsaturated fatty acids can lower the bad cholesterol and increase the good cholesterol. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, anti-cancerous nutrient that protects cells in the body and is a defence against life-threatening diseases.

Avocado oil contains a balanced proportion of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids, along with vitamin E have powerful antioxidant properties which can protect your blood vessels by binding and removing free radicals and cholesterol deposits and reducing your risk of blood vessel damage. The binding of these antioxidants to your blood vessel lining also makes your vessel wall stronger and more flexible so that they respond better to sudden changes of blood pressure. Vitamin A, D and E are all involved in skin cell growth and regeneration which leads to faster healing and better skin quality.
