Before you start, here’s a simple guide to preparing and using avocado seeds at home:
Step 1: Dry It Out
- Remove the pit from the avocado.
- Let it air dry for 2–3 days or place it in the oven at 195°F (90°C) for about 1 hour.
Step 2: Grind It
- Once it’s completely dry, use a strong blender or food processor to grind it into a powder.
- Store the powder in an airtight container.
In the Kitchen
- Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon to:
- Smoothies
- Soups
- Herbal teas
- Use sparingly, as it has a slightly bitter taste.
For Skin Care
- Mix with:
- Coconut or olive oil
- Aloe vera gel
- Plain yogurt
- Gently massage into the skin in circles, then rinse thoroughly.
Important Notes Before You Begin
- As with any natural supplement, start small and listen to your body.
- Always consult your healthcare provider if you’re on medication or have digestive sensitivities.
- Avocado pit powder is not a substitute for medical treatment, but it can be a wonderful addition to a healthy lifestyle.
A New Reason to Love Avocados
It’s funny how easily we overlook the things right in front of us — or in this case, right in the middle of our favorite fruit.
Who would’ve thought the avocado pit — once considered trash — could offer such a powerful boost to your health, digestion, skin, and heart?
Next time you enjoy an avocado, don’t throw the seed away. Give it a second life — in your kitchen, your beauty routine, or your wellness journey.
Sometimes, the most unexpected things offer the greatest benefits.
