It is used as an edible oil both raw and for cooking, where it is noted for its high smoke point.
It is high in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, and also enhances the absorption of carotenoids and other nutrients.
After extraction, it is usually refined, bleached, and deodorized, resulting in an odorless yellow oil.
Avocado oil is naturally low acidic, helping to increase smoke point.
Both unrefined and refined avocado oil can safely be used for almost any high-heat cooking, including baking, stir-frying, deep-frying, searing, barbecuing, roasting, and sauteing.
