SALINAS, CA - Earthbound Farm, the largest U.S. farmer and producer of organic salads, introduces three new Organic Salad Kits, each featuring dressings crafted with 100% organic avocado oil. These additions enhance Earthbound Farm’s existing lineup, further expanding the salad category with fresh, flavorful, and nutritious options.

As consumers seek healthier alternatives for their salad dressings including non-seed oils, avocado oil is continuing to increase in popularity with use in a range of consumer products. According to a Healthline article, this oil is rich in antioxidants and nutrients that offer benefits such as reducing cholesterol levels, enhancing nutrient absorption, supporting heart health, and promoting eye health. Additional research from an IFIC Spotlight Survey on Seed Oils found that when consumers were presented with a range of fats and oils, 67% of those surveyed selected avocado oil in their top three for healthiest type of oil with nearly 40% ranking it the healthiest.
