Avocado oil is a type of oil pressed out of the pulp of avocados. It can be used raw, or in cooking at a high heat.[1] It is a source of monounsaturated fats.
Quality
A study from the University of California, Davis in 2020 found that a majority of avocado oil sold in the US is either spoiled before its expiration date or is spoiled with other oils.[2][3] In some cases, the researchers found that bottles labeled as “pure” or “extra virgin” avocado oil is soybean oil.[2]
