Just as the name implies, avocado oil is produced from the fruits of avocado (scientific name Persea americana). The species is an evergreen tree part of the Lauraceae family, known for its edible fruit. Avocados are close relatives of the cinnamon and bay laurel, even if the resemblance is not very obvious.

The avocado oil is edible, being used as cooking oil or added raw in other dishes. Like most natural oils it is also an effective lubricant and a valued cosmetic agent, said to be effective as a moisturizer and regenerative product.
In cooking, avocado oil is considered to be one of the healthiest available, with an excellent taste as well. Avocado oil has a great composition that includes essential fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and antioxidant agents.
Even unrefined avocado oil has a very high smoke point, which increases even more if refined. The raw and unrefined oil has a smoke point of 249 ?C, after refining it becomes 271 ?C. However, these are not exact values and depend on the refining procedure, as well as the storage and handling of the oil during transport and in the kitchen.

Besides its very nice taste, avocado oil is also well suited as a carrier for other flavours. Consuming it boosts the absorption of nutrients such as carotenoids and it?s a great source of vitamin E and monounsaturated fats.
Unlike other oil crops, avocado can be harvested all year-round. As a result, some plants that regularly process olives switch to the production of avocado oil outside of the oil season, in order to stay busy.
Initially, avocado oil was not extracted for cooking but as a cosmetic agent. It is still extremely popular for this purpose, due to the quick absorption and ability to penetrate to the deep layers of skin. Avocado oil for cosmetic use is normally extracted at high temperatures, using solvents. In advance, the flesh of avocados is dried in order to remove as much as possible of the water in its composition, which can reach 65%. The raw oil is then filtered, refined, bleached and processed in order to remove its scent. The result is a yellow oil, without any odour. Another option is avocado oil that is cold pressed, being similar to extra virgin olive oil, with the same color and smell as the raw fruit.

Avocado oil is rich in essential fatty acids, which are very healthy. The most common is oleic acid, also known as omega-9 that has made olive oil so famous. This essential fatty acid is well-known for its health benefits. It can boost immunity, cure multiple types of infections, reduce internal or external inflammation, decrease the risk of developing cancer, prevent the apparition of certain auto-immune diseases, speed up cell regeneration as well as the rate of wound healing.
Oleic acid is also notoriously resilient against oxidation, which gives it a very long shelf life. Compared with other natural oils, the avocado one can be stored safely without becoming rancid. Avocado oil can be used for high temperature cooking due to its structural stability. It doesn't break down and maintains its health benefits even when cooking saut? or stir fried dishes.

Another natural compound that is found in unusually high amounts in avocado oil is beta-sitosterol. This is closely related to cholesterol but it is a healthy fat that actually contributes to the conversion of toxic ones into compounds that are more easily processed by the body. Avocado oil acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory natural product, which decreases the danger of plaque deposits by protecting arterial walls from damage. By decreasing arterial inflammation, the avocado oil can keep blood pressure at a balanced level, which prevents many types of diseases.
Vitamin E is a key nutrient soluble in fat that plays many useful roles: it improves the immune reaction, boosts memory and mental acuity, makes the entire digestive system more effective and is needed for healthy skin and eyes. In addition, this vitamin is a strong antioxidant that is able to neutralize free radicals. Avocado oil is one of the best food sources of vitamin E.
All nutrients are also available as supplements and vitamin E is no exception. However, the body can extract and assimilate them a much better from a natural product such as avocado oil, especially the cold-pressed variety.
Poor digestion is the root cause of many problems, some of which are not very obvious. Besides frequent bloating and a high amount of gases, symptoms can also include heartburns or a general feeling of exhaustion. Including avocado oil in your diet is a great way to improve digestion, even if the effects are not immediate. However, your body will feel better and you will regain your energy a lot faster if you consume it. Avocado oil provides many components needed by the digestive system, such as monounsaturated fatty acids, vitamins or minerals.
Avocado oil is a major source of oleic acid, which is very good for weight loss. If you also have a healthy diet and practice regularly, the effects will be even stronger. Besides contributing to direct weight loss, avocado oil also works in a different way. Due to its richness in nutrients, it suppresses your appetite, makes you feel full and eliminates the need for snacks between meals. In addition, the ability of this natural oil to make digestion more effective means that the body will be able to extract more nutrients from the other food. This gives you more energy, needed for sports for example.
The oil produced from avocado has a very large content of chlorophyll, which is one of the most effective natural detoxification agents that can clear the internal organs like kidneys, liver or even the brain of toxic heavy metals such as mercury or lead. Chlorophyll also supplies a sizeable dose of magnesium, a very healthy mineral that is found for example in Epsom salt. At the core of each molecule of chlorophyll there is an ion of magnesium. When the compound reacts with the acidic environment of the human body, the atom is released. Without the magnesium ion, the chlorophyll molecule is incomplete and attracts other metal ions in order to become stable. Once the toxic metal binds with chlorophyll, it turns into a harmless chemical that can travel through the digestive system and is eventually eliminated. In order to make the detoxifying effects of chlorophyll even stronger, it is a good idea to pair avocado oil in salads and other dishes with cilantro.
Avocado oil is a very valuable cosmetic agent because it is able to feed your skin from the outside. When applied on the skin, the vitamins and minerals in its composition penetrate it and reach the deeper layers. Avocado oil has a strong moisturizing effect and stimulates the skin to produce more healthy cells. The avocado oil includes several nutrients that can be absorbed directly through the skin, especially potassium, vitamin E and lecithin. Once these compounds reach the dermis, they are used in the production of new cells and also heal and reinforce the existing skin.
These nutrients are also very good for your hair. The mechanism is the same: they penetrate the scalp and the hair shafts and nourish them from within. For best results, apply avocado oil after washing your hair, combined with other essential oils that help the scalp and the hair. It will boost the growth rate of new hair as well as its durability, while feeding the existing hair and making it look better.
Avocado oil is very rich in oleic acid, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound. As a result, it is an effective external treatment for many skin problems that have an inflammatory nature. These include insect bites and stings, sunburn, eczema, psoriasis, dandruff, cracked heels, keratosis pilaris and others.
This natural product has a thick and dense structure, so it lasts longer than other oils on the skin surface. Breakouts of eczema can be extremely itchy and a thin layer of oil is an extremely effective relief. However, all plant oils can trigger unexpected reactions, so it is a good idea to make a test first. Just apply a few drops of oil on a small area of skin, so you can quickly remove it if needed. If there is no adverse reaction, you can apply the treatment of the entire area affected by the rash.
Avocado oil has the ability to significantly boost the healing rate of the skin and make it more durable against external factors. Sunburn, bug bites and stings, cuts, scrapes, burns, raw skin from blisters or rashes and other similar problems can be treated with avocado oil. Just clean the damaged area with care, and then apply just one or two avocado oil drops on it. Besides speeding up the healing process, this natural product reduces the risk of scars.
