Do you love CRAB CAKES? Here is a secret; whenever a recipe calls for using butter, switch and use AHUACATLAN AVOCADO OIL. This wonderful oil is not only a healthy replacement of butter; it also TASTES like butter with an extremely high smoke point at 520 degrees F. Where butter burns, avocado oil “SIZZLES,” which turns the crab cakes into a beautiful “golden brown.”
