Im a food psycho, I admit it. But this snuck up on me- avocado oil! I'd never ever heard about it before, and anything avocado has me at Hello:) At the $21 it cost me for this medium sized bottle, it didn't come cheap. But with a husband who is trying to avoid family heart problems, and me needing more QUALITY calories in my diet, this looked really promising!
It arrived it good time, incredibly well packaged, and I opened it immediately. I was initially put off by the smell, but after a minute or two I had fallen in love with it! The thing that surprised me was how thick it was. I wasn't expecting it to be so rich in green color and thick like pancake syrup. But as soon as heat gets to it, it morphs into the most versatile oil I've ever used in my kitchen! Or in my bath! It's fantastic for skin and hair applications! Because this is first press/raw/pure awesomeness, it has a very heavy color and is brimming with vitamins and minerals. To me organic is important, and I love that its a product from right here in our USofA.
As for taste, I thought it would make our food taste avocado-y, but it just imparts a unique flavor that compliments everything that touches it. Nutty, but really delicate & mild. Ive even put a tablespoon in green smoothies, in marinades & dressings, and on the grill. It is really incredible that you can fry with it and stir fry with it and not smoke up your kitchen too! I'll never be without this in my kitchen again.
