Prepare the pit: Starting with the avocado pit, wash it thoroughly to remove any remaining flesh. Then peel the skin, which can be quite tough, and break it into smaller pieces (preferably with a kitchen knife or hammer).
Cooking: If you want the pit to be easier to process, boil it in water for about 10-15 minutes. You can do this to soften its texture before further processing.
Blending: Once cooked, the avocado pit should be blended into a fine powder using a high-powered blender, adding a little water to achieve a smooth consistency. If you prefer, you can also add some spices such as cinnamon or ginger, depending on how you intend to use the pit.
Storage: The avocado seed, once powdered, can be stored in an airtight jar in a dry place for several weeks. This way, you’ll always have it on hand!
Serving and storage tips:
Serving: You can add avocado seed powder to smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, salads, and even baking! You can also use it as an additive to tea or coffee, enriching the drink with healthy ingredients.
Storage: To keep it fresh, store the ground seed in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. You can also freeze it to extend its shelf life.
Variations:
Avocado seed in a drink: If you don’t have a blender, you can try grinding the seed by hand and adding it to juice or smoothie to enrich the drink with healthy nutrients.
Spices: Experiment with different spices to adjust the taste of the avocado seed to your preferences. Turmeric, ginger, or cinnamon go perfectly with its nutty flavor.
Seed as a paste: You can also grind the avocado seed into a paste, which you can use as an addition to sandwiches or dips.
