almond oil

the content of unsaturated fatty acids in almond oil is about 95%. These unsaturated fatty acids not only do not produce fat accumulation in human body, but also can reduce the levels of low-density lipoprotein and serum cholesterol, which is beneficial to the softening of blood vessels and has the effect of preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

In addition, almond oil has its unique properties. The freezing point of almond oil is very low, and it can still be kept in a clear liquid state at -1℃, and it will only condense at -2℃. Therefore, almond oil is not only a world-famous high-quality edible oil, but also a raw material for making high-grade cosmetics, high-grade lubricants and high-grade plastic solvents, which has very important utilization value and economic value.
