Salam & hi to all,
to avocado oil lovers who have avo tress at home and want to extract 100% pure, uncooked avocado oil..
you are going to need :-
|
4 ripe avocados. some were still good and some, as you can see were half rotten |
|
2 spoons or a pair of chopsticks if you have! |
|
a plate (made of alloy, or steel)
|
or you can use a stainless steel tray (i got this recently) |
|
small cloth, cotton or polyester |
THE PROCESS |
|
(if you dont have a blender/mixer)
take out the seed/stone and put the riped avo flesh in a alloy/steel container.
press and mash using the back of the spoon until all turned smooth |
|
spread the smooth mashed avo and make the layer as thin as you can.
add more plates if you wish to |
|
put under the hot sun until they turned dark.
i left this 3 plates from morning till the evening in a day.
|
|
scrap it out using a plastic spoon. it looks like copra
|
put all in a container |
|
put a small portion (1 table spoon) on the cloth and spread them |
|
and roll the cloth like shown above |
|
take the 2 spoon and tie the end of each cloth like shown above |
|
twist and squeeze as hard as you can. strong fingers are better and weak ones ;p |
|
from 4 avocados. uncooked and vitamins preserved. |
|
look at the color! green and smells nice with no burning smell! real, genuine and pure avo oil |
|
i like to keep empty perfumes bottles. see? i got 2 bottles of 10ml avo oil and a bottle of 5ml avo. |
your dont have to have a special machine to extract/expel avocado oil. everything can be done at home.
4 avocados can produce 50-55 ml pure, cold pressed avocado oil. i am going to make the small bottle as my eye night cream coz it has roller ball. for my facial moisturizer, the10ml (bigger bottle) is enough for a month supply. this means my supply is enough for 2 months, since i have 2 bottles of 10 ml avo oil. cheap, easy and halal! i just love this outcome :)
just imagine if you have an avo tree which produces uncountable of avo fruits! how i wished i have an avocado orchard....
anyway, happy trying and good luck :)
