Rich in oleic acid, a very healthy fat

Avocado oil is a pure oil that is extracted from the avocado pulp. The heart-healthy monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid oleic acid makes for about 70% of avocado oil. This fatty acid, which is also the primary ingredient in olive oil, is thought to have a role in some of the health advantages of the oil. In addition, around 13% of avocado oil contains polyunsaturated fat and about 12% is saturated fat.

Avocado oil has a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (13:1), however, for greater health, people typically desire a 3:1 or 2:1 ratio. But since there isn't much omega-6 in total, this shouldn't be a problem. The majority of evidence indicates that eating a diet high in unsaturated fats is healthy and may lower the chance of developing chronic diseases like heart disease and dementia.
