Benefits and Use Of Almond Oil For Cooking

Why do I have refined almond oil in my kitchen?

It has a high smoke point making it great for stir-frying and sautéing. It is good for High Heat Up To 460F.
What I like about it is that it has a light, clean flavor that does not alter the taste of the foods I am using it to cook with.
