💚 Oleic Acid in Avocado Oil

The same fatty acid that makes olive oil so amazing. Oleic acid is good for the immune system and can withstand oxidation much better than most oils. This makes it last longer without going rancid and better at withstanding high temperatures.

🧴 Vitamin E

Avocado contains vitamin E, an important vitamin for healthy skin, hair, and nails. But, most importantly, vitamin E helps prevent the oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

🦠 Digestion Support With Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is great for gut health, for similar reasons as avocado itself. For example, cold-pressed avocado oil is rich in enzymes and healthy fats that help stimulate your body to repair itself. This is just one of the avocado oil benefits for your body.

❓ Is Avocado Oil Better Than Olive Oil?

Both avocado oil and olive oil have amazing health benefits. But, is one superior to the other? They both have the same caloric intake. Fat profiles are similar except for vitamin E. Olive oil contains more vitamin E than avocado oil.

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil. In other words, you can use avocado oil at higher temperatures without the risk of burn and smoke. This is important to note because, at higher smoke points, the oil will start to release free radicals harmful to the body.

Both oils are great for overall heart health, skin health, and when used to replace saturated fats, can help to lower cholesterol levels. Diets typically higher in monounsaturated fat will notice an improvement in overall cholesterol levels.

In terms of taste, avocado oil is more neutral in flavor. For baked goods and salad dressings, avocado oil is a great choice. For veggies, poultry, meats, and seafood, olive oil adds a rich fruity flavor. Experiment. There are so many endless uses for avocado oil.
