Don't Throw Away Your Avocado Seeds!

Today as I was finishing off my avocado, I looked at the seed and thought, "there has to be more to this than just tossing it in the trash". The first thing I thought was that it would look pretty as a bead on a piece of jewelry, and after pulverizing the seed for about 3 minutes, I decided to look up things that I could use it for. Just to paraphrase what I've researched from different resources, among using it for things like dying fabrics, and facial masks to exfoliate your skin, when grounded and used in small portions it can be incorporate into many different foods like smoothies, and mole sauce (different sauces used in Mexican cuisine), not to mention that it's packed with antioxidants and soluble fiber which can be found in oatmeal, and other nuts, beans and seeds to help lower cholesterol. So before you toss your avocado pits, try putting them to use by adding a little to your favorite smoothie blend, or mixing it into your daily skin care regiment.
