Density 30 · +8 vs Fats & oils medianApricot kernel oil scores 30 of 100, a Low band, and ranks 16 of 60 in Fats & oils, with vitamin E its main strength at 27% DV per serving, the only nutrient concentrated enough here to stand out.
It is pressed from apricot pits and used mainly as a light, faintly nutty finishing or salad oil rather than a high-heat frying oil, and a tablespoon (14g) is entirely fat with no protein, carbohydrate, or sodium recorded. Saturated fat still runs to 6.3 g per 100 g, lower than several other oils in this batch but still enough to keep portions modest.
