Materials Needed for Oil Extraction
To perform this simple extraction process, you will need:
1 ripe avocado
A burner or controlled heat
A glass container to store the oil
A knife and spoon to handle the avocado
A strainer or cheesecloth to filter the liquid
Steps to Make Homemade Avocado Oil
Now that you have all the materials ready, follow these simple steps to obtain your own avocado oil:
Select the right avocado: Make sure the avocado is ripe; it should yield slightly to the pressure of your fingers.
Warm the avocado: Place the whole avocado on the burner or over a gentle heat source. This will help soften it, making it easier to extract the oil.
Open the avocado: Once the avocado is warm and soft to the touch, remove it from the heat. Cut the avocado in half and carefully remove the pit.
Extract the flesh: With the help of a spoon, scoop out the avocado flesh and place it in a container.
