Q: Where in the grocery store would I find this shortening? Thank you.

submitted by Kelly - 1 year ago
  • A: Our Avocado Oil Shortening should be in the same aisle as cooking oil and vinegar.

Q: Does avocado oil change the taste in fried food

submitted by Terry - 5 months ago
  • A: No. It is mild flavor. Less than olive oil

    submitted byNene - 4 months ago

Q: Is fractionated avocado oil healthy for cholesterol?

submitted by Mary - 6 months ago
  • A: It’s going to be better than butter or crisco for sure! fractionated doesn’t make some fats turn into trans fats like hydrogenated does AND fractionated avocado oil (at least this one) also has mono and polyunsaturated fats which ARE good for cholesterol. There’s still saturated fat, but about half your typical tablespoon of butter

Not Safe for Dairy or Soy Allergies!

I was disappointed to see in small print after I bough this that it is processed in a facility with MILK and SOY. I will be returning it. Bolder or larger print to point this out on the package would be appreciated.

Needs to protective seal or packaging.

Would have loved to try this! Needs a protective seal! Returned due to being open! Only had 2 pieces of poorly fitted tape - lid was open.

Great option for cooking and baking!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked great for baking! It’s nice to have a plant based alternative for baking. The packaging worked great, and this fits in my cupboard great.

A better for you alternative

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a an innovative product. The taste is undetectable and is amazing for baking. This truly is a guilt free alternative to an otherwise almost-obsolete food item. I loved this for making snickerdoodles!

Great Alternative

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great alternative for cooking! How it was packaged, it leaked, but the product itself was great for someone who wants a healthy alternative when cooking.

Chosen Foods - Avocado Oil Shortening

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my new favorite thing to buy on every grocery trip. Very happy to find a clean Oil Shortening. This Avocado Oil Shortening has been so far the best ingredient to be added to all my favorite dishes. I tried it with frying and baking and it’s like magic. I wish it came in a bigger tub which would be great for cooking larger recipes. My Mother enjoys baking and she approves ! I totally recommend it. Thank you Chosen Foods and Influenster.

Awesome! But hard to clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it. Healthy and it spreads easy and tastes great. Can use in lots of different recipes. My biggest complaint is that it’s hard to clean off hands and the pan.

Healthy shortening!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve got this product form influenster for my honest review. I’m all about finding healthy alternatives for my family. This is a great option. Only one ingredient! I used it to cook omelets and stir fry vegetable. Creamy soft texture, easy to use. Definitely better and healthier option than Crisco or similar items. Would recommend!

Great alternative

Used to make empanadas instead of shortening. They turned out delicious with no after taste.

Perfect for outdoor griddle!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product for cooking on my blackstone grill. It works great! It doesn’t leave too much of a greasy residue like other oils and adds the perfect subtle flavor to the food I’m cooking.

Nice replacement for your recipes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great replacement ingredient for me and has worked well in every recipe I’ve used it in. Plus, it has the added benefit of moisturizing my skin when it inevitably gets on my hands.
