Almond Oil
Almond oil is extracted from the seed of the almond fruit. Unrefined almond oil is made by pressing raw almonds without the use of high heat or chemical agents. This process helps the oil retain much of its nutrient content.
Almond oil is a great source of vitamin E. Vitamin E is necessary for maintaining a healthy immune system and it protects us against free radicals, which damage the growth and survival of cells in our body.
Refined almond oil is best for cooking due to its high smoke point. Unrefined almond oil should be used as a finishing oil for salads, fish, vegetables and cream soups. It will not do well when heated to high temperatures.
