Description
"Avocado Oil" is a vibrant green oil cold-pressed from ripe avocado pulp, known for its smooth texture and rich, buttery taste. Loaded with monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, and absorption-enhancing compounds, this oil supports cardiovascular health and nutrient uptake. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for sautéing, roasting, or grilling, while its mild flavor suits salad dressings and dips. A versatile kitchen essential, avocado oil brings both heart-smart nutrition and gourmet flair to every meal.

Avocado Oil
Benefits
Supports heart health: Rich in monounsaturated fats that help lower bad cholesterol and protect cardiovascular function.
Nourishes and hydrates skin: Helps improve elasticity and reduce dryness, making it a popular natural moisturizer.
Improves nutrient absorption: Enhances your body's ability to absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K.
Great for high-heat cooking: Its high smoke point makes it ideal for frying, roasting, or sautéing without breaking down.

Glycemic Load [GL]
A food's glycemic load reflects its potential to raise blood sugar levels after consumption. The impact of ingesting one gram of glucose is roughly equivalent to one glycemic load unit. The glycemic load is calculated by multiplying the total carbohydrate content of a food by its glycemic index and then dividing by 100. The range of low GL values is 0–10. A GL between 11 and 19 is considered medium, while a GL over 20 is considered high.

Glycemic Index [GI]
The glycemic index measures the increase in blood sugar levels brought on by consuming a particular carbohydrate within two hours of ingestion. It is displayed on a scale from 0 to 100, with 100 denoting the effect of pure glucose. High-glycemic-index foods [70+] quickly release glucose into the bloodstream, which raises blood sugar levels. Foods with a medium [56–69] and low GI [0-55] release glucose into the blood gradually.
