Many of us grew up eating foods cooked with corn oil, sunflower oil, or soybean oil. These oils are often treated with heat or chemicals, which means they are processed. This raises their smoke point (c 480 F), so that you can fry and bake with them. The processing also gives them a long shelf life, which pleases supermarkets and online retailers. However, seed oils contain linoleic acid, and too much linoleic acid is linked to increased inflammation and chronic diseases.
Extra-virgin Avocado Oil, on the other hand, contains oleic acid, a healthy monounsaturated fat that supports heart health and lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol. Avocado oil is a wonderful source of Omega 3, 6, and 9, healthy fats with anti-inflammatory qualities. It’s linked to a reduced risk of heart disease.
As a bonus, oleic acid acts as a humectant, which means it’s good for your skin!
For cleaner ingredients and better health, we believe in creating avocado oils with a very robust nutritional profile. Thanks to our cold-press extraction method,
PURA GROVE’s organic, California-grown Extra Virgin Avocado Oil retains its natural antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. This unrefined, premium-grade oil still has a smoke point of 400 F, so you can cook with it or drizzle it on your food!
Here at PURA GROVE, we are very happy to nourish our avocado trees at our San Diego County farm. We prepare our oil in the healthiest way, and present you with the finest possible Avocado Oil for your health and palate.
