Avacado Oil ...Anyone?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

Avocado oil offers many advantages over the more traditional olive oils used for cooking and drizzling. It offers a smoke point of around 491°F (255°C), higher than 406°F (208°C) of olive oil, an important difference for cooking. Avocado oil has a higher viscosity than olive oil, and texturally is more pleasant than all other oils.

1. I've never seen it for sale

Ethic grocery, perhaps?

3. I don't know. I found it surfing the net. I am curious.

I thought perhaps someone here has tried it. :shrug:

5. Health food stores will have it, too

I never liked it all that much, but I can see a place for it in Mexican cooking and Caribbean cooking.

2. How's the taste?

Best time to use it? Foods it wouldn't be good with?

thanks for this!

6. It's available everywhere here

I never saw the need to stop using the olive, peanut and canola oils I generally use.
