Intolerances
- SalicylateLow
Low, which is a useful contrast: the avocado fruit is high, but pressing and refining leaves the salicylate behind.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)None
Avocado is a liberator on the elimination lists, and the oil is not, for a reason worth keeping straight: a liberator classification attaches to the fruit, and the oil is the fat pressed out of it. It carries none of the flesh. This is also the one avocado product that does not keep changing on the counter - a cut avocado browns and goes on building, an oil does not.
