🌱 Introduction
We’ve all been there: you check your avocados… and they’re too soft, a little bruised, or not pretty enough for toast. But before you toss them — STOP! There’s a better way to use them…
✨ Make your own avocado oil at home — with no expensive machines, and using fruit you’d otherwise waste.
Not only is it incredibly satisfying, but you’ll be creating something pure, healthy, and deeply nourishing right in your own kitchen.

🌍 Origin and Cultural Significance
Avocados have been prized for centuries in Mesoamerican cultures, where they symbolized fertility, health, and abundance. Today, avocado oil is loved globally for its heart-healthy fats, high smoke point, and rich, buttery flavor.
Homemade avocado oil represents a return to traditional, waste-free practices — making use of every part of the food we buy, just like generations before us did.

💡 Tips for Success

✅ Work clean — bacteria will spoil oil
✅ Be patient with the drying process
✅ Use gentle heat only to avoid bitterness
✅ Store oil in a dark glass bottle in a cool place
✅ For skincare: strain twice for best purity
✅ For cooking: ensure oil isn’t burned or overly darkened

👩🍳 Instructions (Overview)
1. Scoop avocado flesh into a bowl. Mash it well into a smooth paste.
2. Heat it gently: either
In the oven at low heat (around 150–170°F / 65–75°C) for 4–5 hours, or
In a skillet on low, stirring continuously until dark green oil separates.
3. When oil begins to release, let it cool slightly.
4. Strain through cheesecloth or a fine sieve into a clean jar or bottle.
5. Use immediately or store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 month.
