One of the newest fads when it comes to natural remedies is eat the avocado pit, to which they attribute beneficial properties to prevent cancer and lower cholesterol.
Although this custom comes from afar, for some time now, tutorials on how to produce powder from this seed have proliferated, as well as online stores where we can buy it already made, but Is it really safe for consumption?
It has not yet been determined whether avocado pits are safe for human consumption. Experts recommend not eating them and limiting yourself only to the meat of the fruit, a part that does present contrasted nutritional benefits, thanks to its healthy fats, antioxidants, fiber and potassium (they can contain up to twice as much this mineral as a banana). Add it to your rice, salads and smoothies on a regular basis to access all its benefits, among which are the reduction of high blood pressure, the prevention of macular degeneration, the protection of the heart and the maintenance of the line.
So for now, discard the avocado pit as the next superfood or natural remedy for all ills. Eat only the green and throw the bone in the trash, as you have always done. That is at least the opinion of the experts.
