The avocado fruit is one of the most nourishing foods in the world! It is loaded with good fats (70% monounsaturated fat, the heart healthy fat), vitamins and anti oxidants. Avocados have 60 percent more potassium than bananas. They are also rich in B vitamins, vitamin E, vitamin K and folate. The oil is extracted from the avocado fruit through cold pressing. With a smoke point of 550 Fahrenheit it is the safest oil to heat and cook with. It contains more vitamin E than olive oil and beta-sitosterol, two powerful antioxidants. Add to that the neutral clean taste and you got yourself a nutritional powerhouse.
