Green (Unrefined) vs White (Refined) Avocado Butter: Differences

‎The primary difference between white (refined) and green (unrefined) avocado butter lies in the processing.

Green coloured avocado butter is typically unrefined, retaining the natural colour and sometimes a slight scent of the avocado fruit, according to some online sources.

White avocado butter is refined, meaning it has gone through a process to remove impurities, chlorophyll, and pigments, resulting in a lighter colour and a more neutral scent.

Both refined and unrefined Avocado Butter have their place.

Refined Avocado Butter is not stripped of all its goodness. The purpose of refining is to make it in an odourless and colourless form for formulations that don’t require scent or colour
