Do you throw away the pit of the avocado when you are done preparing this popular fruit? Don't do that! Why?
Today, we humans are engaged in recycling and reusing scraps, which is a great way to reduce our waste and conserve the planet's resources. But one thing we're sure most of you still throw away - quite unnecessarily - is avocado pit.
Avocado is considered one of the most miraculous and healthy fruits on earth - in large quantities it contains as many as 25 essential nutrients (vitamins A, B, C, E and K, copper, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium) as well as dietary fiber, protein and other phytochemicals. But it turned out to be his bone the most nutritious part of the avocado.

In addition, fiber is good for digestion and can help you feel fuller for longer. This indirectly means that eating avocado pits could contribute to lower calorie intake and weight loss.
The pit of an avocado is inedible if it is not heat treated, so do not try to bite it. Rather, heat the oven to 120 degrees Celsius and the stone, which you previously washed, for approx. Bake for 2 hours on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Then prepare from it flour, which you can use in a smoothie, yogurt or oatmeal. When the pit is soft, you simply put it in a blender and grind it until it turns into a fine flour.
You can still have an avocado pit as well plant, but you will have to have a good amount of patience. You will have to wait at least five years for the tree to bear fruit, and the success of growing it also depends on whether you have a greenhouse at home or not. Otherwise, the chances of growing this tree are small.
