>Avocado pits are generally considered toxic.I personally would not consume an avocado pit<

I personally would, and do, every day. They are very nutritious, containing high levels of antioxidants and fiber, especially insoluble fiber (more than oatmeal). In the article referenced below the avocado pit was found to contain over 70% of the antioxidant activity and polyphenolic content. Since the pulp weights several times as much as the pit this means that the pit is over ten times as nutritious in these two important respects.

Hi, besides, Avocado is rich in magnesium that reduces risk of excess belly fat, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar.
Do you know that avocado is one of the foods useful for treating inflammation in our body? It is a fact that avocados are high in fat; however, they contain heart healthy monounsaturated fats providing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection.

The avocado pit is not as hard as it seems. I put it in a pretty ordinary blender and the pit broke easily. If you only want to use only half of the pit, you need to CUT THE AVOCADO AND THE PIT AT ONCE, the pit is too slippery to cut by itself.

All the recipes before can use half a pit or it may be a little too bitter or a little too much fiber at once.

I personally would do fruit juices or smoothies with the pit and eat the avocado flesh separately, As gacamole, in a salad, or just spread “as is” on a slice of bread as appetizer.

A good idea is also to mix some of the pit crumbs with gacamole. It stays fresh and green!

Avocado pits are generally considered toxic. I personally would not consume an avocado pit, nor skin nor leaves. But I think it is an interesting way to experiment on people. By the way, any part of the avocado is poison to many animals – do don’t give this to you pets.
