How and why to eat seed of avocado?



I have already written a post why we should eat avocado please,click at the following link to see a post- http://vikki2603.blogspot.com/2017/01/why-eat-avocados.html. Avocado seed is probably the last thing ,that  you would think that could be eaten. As it turns out, nature can surprise us once again.
What most people don’t know is that the avocado seed is edible  and even more nutritious than the flesh.

See below the benefits of Avocado Seeds :

1.Antioxidant properties: which delay the aging process and not only the skin, but primarily the brain, heart, and all the cells and tissues which we have. The seeds of avocado contain some of the largest amounts of antioxidants, which can be found among the plants. 70% of the antioxidants are found in the seed.These antioxidants have the power to neutralize free radicals, which are linked to many diseases and obesity.

2.Packed with soluble fibers: the vast contents of soluble fiber are the benefits for our health and body- weight loss, regulates bowel movements and lowers cholesterol, and fiber. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the beautiful silhouette or get rid of the problems with digestion and reduce cholesterol and protect the body against damaging radicals (which after all may lead us to cancer) and to prevent cardiovascular disease, then eat not only avocado but his seed  as well.

3.Good for your heart: its high levels of dietary fiber lowers cholesterol. It actually binds cholesterol before it has the chance to be absorbed in our blood.

4.Reduce inflammation and ease joint pain:  avocado seeds and skins contain higher levels of antioxidants such as catechins (also found in green tea) that act as anti-inflammatories, reduce pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of joint function.

5.Strengthen immune system: the seed can help you through flu and cold season by strengthening your immune system.


6.Destroys cancer cells: the seeds contain flavonol a powerful antioxidant that helps to prevent or reduce tumor growth.


How to eat seed of avocado?.

Simply take the seed from the avocado like normal and then knife it into quarters. After that, the bits of seed can be thrown into a food processor, grinder, or powerful blender to make a powder. If your blender isn’t strong enough to handle the seed use a cheese grater. The seeds are quite bitter, so it is best to add them to the cocktail, smoothie or self-squeezed juices.

Blend well and enjoy!
