- Blender or food processor
- Slow cooker
- Fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth
- Storage container or bottle
Step-by-Step Guide:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
