Avocado oilVery Good
High in monounsaturated fat (oleic acid), heat-stable, and minimally processed — an excellent cooking oil on its own. Independent lab testing did detect phthalate plasticizers (see lab results), which migrate from packaging and processing rather than coming from the oil itself.
