• It’s over seventy percent monounsaturated fat – the good kind of fat.
• It helps to lower cholesterol.
• It has one of the highest smoke points of any oil, making it incredibly safe to cook with.
• Its high vitamin E content makes it good for your skin and hair.
• And it adds a whole new flavour profile to foods!
