Homemade Avocado Oil: A Simple DIY Guide Using Avocado Seed and Peels (Page 2 ) | August 4, 2024

Materials Needed:

• Avocado seeds and peels (from about 8-10 avocados)
• Blender or food processor
• Slow cooker
• Fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth
• Storage container or bottle

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Clean the avocado seeds and peels thoroughly to remove any residual flesh. This is important as any leftover fruit can spoil the oil.
   • Dry the seeds and peels completely. You can let them air dry for a few days or use an oven set at a very low temperature to speed up the process.
2. Grind the Seeds and Peels:
   • Once dried, cut the seeds into smaller pieces to make them easier to process.
   • Place the seeds and peels into a blender or food processor. Grind them into as fine a mixture as possible. The smaller the pieces, the more efficiently they’ll release their oils.
3. Extract the Oil:
   • Transfer the ground seeds and peels into a slow cooker. Set it to low heat and let the mixture warm for about 5-6 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure even heat distribution and to prevent burning.
   • The heat will help release the oil from the seeds and peels.
4. Strain the Oil:
   • After heating, pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl. Press or squeeze the solids to extract as much oil as possible.
   • The liquid collected is your homemade avocado oil.
5. Store the Oil:
   • Transfer the oil into a clean storage container or bottle. Seal it tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. The oil should be good for up to six months.
