Avocado Oil Benefits and How to Use it

Have you tried avocado oil?  We’re a household superfan! 

Avocado oil is a nutrient dense oil great for cooking, skin care and digestive health. Any product to help my gut health I’m all for! 

Benefits of using avocado oil:

Oleic acid - Oleic acid is a fatty acid good for the immune system and can withstand oxidation. This makes it last longer without going rancid and has the properties to withstanding high cooking temperatures. 

Vitamin E - An essential vitamin for healthy skin, hair and nails. Vitamin E helps prevent against the oxidative damage caused by free-radicals (aka, STRESS.) 

Digestion - Cold pressed avocado oil is rich in enzymes and healthy fats that help stimulate your body to repair itself and help to digest nutrients.
