Crafting Your Own Avocado Oil at Home: Easy DIY with Avocado Seeds and Peels - Page 2

Preparation:
- Collect the seeds and peels from several avocados.
- Rinse them thoroughly to remove any remaining fruit.
Drying:
- Spread the seeds and peels out on a baking sheet.
- Let them dry in a warm, sunny spot for a few days, or place them in an oven set to a low temperature (around 200°F or 93°C) until they are completely dry.
Blending:
- Once dried, chop the avocado seeds into smaller pieces.
- Place the seeds and peels into a blender or food processor and blend until they form a coarse powder.
Heating:
- Transfer the powdered seeds and peels into a saucepan.
- Add enough olive oil or another carrier oil to cover the powder (this step is optional, but it helps extract more oil).
- Heat the mixture over low heat for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
Straining:
- After heating, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the oil from the solids.
- Pour the strained oil into a clean, dry bottle or jar.
