AVOCADO OIL - A MIRACLE IN A BOTTLE?

Is this just the latest attempt by the avocado marketing board to sell us expensive elixirs? Well, no. Extra-virgin avocado oil has a monounsaturated fat level of 72 per cent, about five per cent higher than olive oil, which is a good thing. It has about 13 per cent saturated fat, compared with olive oil’s 17 per cent, which is also a good thing. And it has high levels of vitamin E. An egg fried in avocado oil tastes delicious.
