Avacado Oil

Avocado oil is extracted from the fruits of Persea Americana commonly known as avocado. It is a tree native to the State of Puebla in Mexico. Avocados are commercially valuable fruit and are cultivated in tropical climates throughout the world, producing a green-skinned, pear-shaped fruit that ripens after harvesting. It is used as an ingredient in food and as cooking oil. It is having regenerative and moisturizing properties and hence is used in cosmetics. It is also used as a carrier oil for other flavors. It is high in monounsaturated fats and Vitamin E. As a culinary oil, avocado oil compares well with olive oil. Like olive oil, avocado oil is one of few vegetable oils not derived from seeds; it is pressed from the fleshy pulp surrounding the avocado pit.
