Avocado seed
The first thought that comes to you when you hold an avocado seed is sowing. If you have enough patience, you can obtain fruit trees right at home. Those who have dared to taste avocado pits can confirm that it has a taste that is quite desirable. Its bitter taste is caused by the presence of tannins, compounds that can be toxic in large amounts.
Seeds also contain persin, a fungicidal toxin that can be poisonous to some animals: dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, cattle, etc. On the other hand, avocado seeds are rich in potassium and phosphorus and have bactericidal and fungicidal properties.
Additionally, they contain saponins that improve metabolism and remove “bad” cholesterol from the body.
Flavonoids in their composition have healing and prophylactic effects against some serious diseases. To fully utilize the medicinal effects of avocado seeds, they must be prepared correctly. Before use, clean the brown membranous seeds and dry them thoroughly.
Then grate them and place them in the oven at a low temperature for one hour. The resulting mass should be slightly browned and have a golden-brown-reddish shade. The obtained powder can be added to milkshakes, smoothies, porridge, or fruit salads. Avocado kernels are recommended for problems with obesity, atherosclerosis and blood pressure. We remind you that consumption of this product in its raw form is contraindicated.
Beneficial properties of the avocado:
1. It has anti-inflammatory properties
Tests on rodents have shown that avocado seeds have anti-inflammatory properties due to the presence of flavonoids in their composition.
2. It is a natural antibiotic
Brazilian scientists have demonstrated that avocado seed extract eliminates certain fungal infections (for example Candida) and destroys the virus called yellow fever (American plague).
3. It is beneficial for digestion
Centuries ago, Native Americans used avocado seeds to treat digestive disorders.
4. It is a source of antioxidants
Avocado is often listed among products with a high concentration of antioxidants, which also applies to the seeds of this fruit. In 2003, scientists from the National University of Singapore concluded that avocado seeds, like mango seeds, contain significant amounts of “fighters” against free radicals, specifically catechins and procyanidins.
5. Lower cholesterol levels
The effect of lowering cholesterol levels is related to the high fiber content in avocado seeds, which prevents the absorption of harmful fats in the gastrointestinal tract. Natural antioxidants also have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. They slow lipid oxidation and the formation of arterial plaques.
In addition, avocado remedies are effective in the case of rashes, hair and oily skin, and also dandruff. Crushed pulp is used for exfoliation and facial masks.
