| Video Discription | Welcome once again to my nest. In today's Diy series; we're making some avocado oil. Making your own oil is not only fun, but it’s a great way to ensure that your products have no unwanted and unnecessary additives, preservatives, and chemicals. More so, you can avoid unnecessary extra processing and, very often, save on money too! Plus, with avocado oil – you can reduce waste too – by using all those overripe avocados 🥑 This extra virgin avocado oil is also great for those who want to consume unrefined oils without the use of heat. While this process isn’t exactly cold-pressed ( I don’t have the equipment for that), this is the next best thing and a method ANYONE can do at home! STEP 1: PREPARE AN AVOCADO PASTE First, mash the avocados into a smooth paste. You can use a hand masher or blender/food processor for this.I used a hand masher this time round Once mashed, spread the avocado paste in a thin layer over a parchment paper-lined tray or similar surface. I'm using my kitchen table as you can see lined up with STEP 2: DRY THE PASTE Allow the avocado paste to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area (you can use direct sunlight for faster results like I'm doing. You may also use a dehydrator to speed up this process. Though, keep the temperature below 40ºC/104ºF for the oil to remain extra virgin. The amount of time this takes may differ depending on the climate/weather where you live. Once you notice that the top of your avocado paste has gone considerably brown, then mix it up well and re-spread into a thin layer. You’ll need to do this several times (at least 2 times a day – usually morning and evening). Continue to do this until you have a very dark brown colored paste. Some people wait until the paste is almost completely dried, but if you do so, then you’ll find it incredibly difficult to extract the oil. One good way to know that it is ready is to look at your spoon when mixing the paste; the first few times you mix the mixture, it will pick up avocado. However, when it’s ready, you’ll notice that the paste no longer sticks to the spoon. Instead, it will look slightly oily. STEP 3: EXTRACT THE AVOCADO OIL Place the avocado paste in a nut milk bag, muslin cloth, or similar material. You can now either hand-squeeze the oil into a container or leave it to naturally drain, squeezing it at the end of the draining process to get the last of the oil. Here I'm hand squeezing for faster results. If, for whatever reason, there are any ‘bits’ in the oil, then feel free to strain it once more when decanting it into a sterilized glass container. In general, avocados are known for their bountiful health benefits, including benefits from its healthy fat. Likewise, avocado oil is also packed with healthy fats and antioxidants. Here are just a few of some of the health benefits of avocado oil. The oil is rich in Oleic Acid, a super healthy fat – In fact, 70% of avocado oil is made up of it. Oleic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid and wonderful for heart health and possibly even beneficial towards boosting memory. Increases ‘good’ HDL cholesterol levels while reducing ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, thus great for heart health. Packed with antioxidants – which help to fight oxidization in the body and damage caused by free radicals. This, in turn, reduces the risk of several chronic diseases (i.e., heart disease, diabetes, and other inflammatory-based conditions). Avocados are also a good source a Lutein, an antioxidant great for eye health! Beneficial for skin – due to the fatty acids, avocado oil may be used to enhance wound healing, moisturize skin, and it has anti-inflammatory properties to relieve conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. The same can be said for its use on the scalp – reducing any dry, flaky skin. Can help enhance nutrient absorption – Several nutrients need to be combined with a fat to be absorbed. Avocado oil is a great example of a fat that will help to increase the absorption rate substantially. HOW TO STORE Avocado oil is shelf stable and should last for months (possibly even up to a year) when stores in an airtight container away from direct heat and sunlight. You can also keep the oil stored in the fridge to extend the shelf life further, by a few months even. |
