| Avocado oil, used a substitute for olive oil.[36] Also used in cosmetics.[37] Unusually high smoke point of 510°F.[38] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Avocado oil is an edible oil pressed from the fruit of the Persea americana (avocado). It is used as a food oil, as an ingredient in other dishes, as well as a cooking oil. It can be frequently found in cosmetics where it is valued for its regenerative and moisturizing properties. It has an unusually high smoke point of 491°F (255°C), and functions well as a carrier oil for other flavors.[citation needed] It is high in monounsaturated fats and Vitamin E. Because the avocado is a year-round crop, some olive oil plants, particularly in Australia and New Zealand, process olive oil during the olive season, and avocado oil during the rest of the year. As a culinary oil, avocado oil compares well with olive oil.[1] Avocado oil is one of few vegetable oils not derived from seeds; it is pressed from the fleshy pulp surrounding the avocado pit.[2] Categories: All articles with unsourced statements | Articles with unsourced statements since December 2007 | Vegetable oils | Vegetable stubs #EANF# #EANF# #EANF# #EANF# |
