🥑 Avocado Seed : don´t throw it away!
I was posting on another community about the avocado seed and how good it is and I have just realized that most people do not know that it is edible.
The avocado seed contains antioxidants, fiber and anti‑inflammatory compounds. Some cultures have used it traditionally and early studies show interesting potential:
- Antioxidant support: the seed contains polyphenols similar to green tea, which may help reduce inflammation.
- Digestive health: its fiber content may support gut function.
- Heart health (early evidence): some studies show possible benefits for cholesterol and blood pressure.
One word of caution: the avocado seed is really bitter (we talked about how bitterness is good for us) so it has to be used in small amounts and not every day.
A very easy and step-by -step "tutorial" on how to prepare the seed:
- Remove & clean the pit.
- Dry it:
- Peel off the thin skin.
- Chop the seed into pieces or grate it (it has the same texture as a mature cheese)
- Blend or grind into a fine powder (a spice grinder works best).
- Store in an airtight jar or freezer.
Because the powder is very bitter, pair it with strong flavors: you can add it in smoothies with banana, berries, cacao, or ginger. You can use it in hot watter for making tea, you can grate fresh seeds on salads (it will brown rapidly).
Have you ever used the avocado seed? For food or cosmetics? (yeah, it´s one of the most used seed for hair growth:))
