monounsaturated
Single double-bond fat
Monounsaturated describes fats and oils containing one double bond in their molecular chain, as opposed to saturated fats (no double bonds) or polyunsaturated fats (multiple double bonds).
Olive oil and avocados are high in monounsaturated fat, generally considered heart-healthy: Switch to monounsaturated cooking oils.
