Step-by-Step Guide to Making Avocado Oil from Scraps
Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Scraps
Start by gathering the avocado skins and seeds from your used avocados. These are the parts that usually end up in the trash, but they actually contain a significant amount of oil. Wash the skins and seeds thoroughly to remove any remaining fruit flesh or dirt. Cleanliness is crucial to ensure that your homemade oil stays fresh and safe to use.
