FAQs
Q: What’s the difference between the two products?
A: Powder retains fiber and moderate fat; juice powder is fat-rich and oil-soluble for liquid applications.

A: Yes! 1 tbsp powder ≈ ¼ avocado; 1 tsp juice powder ≈ 1 tbsp oil.
Q: Is it safe for nut allergies?
A: Yes—avocado is a fruit, not a tree nut.
Q: How to prevent oxidation in formulations?
A: Use juice powder with citric acid (≤0.5%) or store in opaque containers.
