Once you learn this, you’ll never throw away an avocado pit again.

We love avocados: on toast, in guacamole, in salads… But let’s be honest, we all have the same reflex: once we’ve eaten the fruit, we automatically throw away the pit without a second thought. Yet, this gesture is far from insignificant. This little pit contains a wealth of often-overlooked nutrients. Antioxidants, fiber, minerals… What if we told you it can contribute to digestion, skin and hair health, cardiovascular health, and even a healthy immune system? Here’s why it’s high time we rediscovered its benefits.

  1. A concentrated source of antioxidants at your fingertips

The avocado pit is particularly rich in polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that fight cellular aging. It acts somewhat like an internal shield against oxidative stress, responsible for dullness, lack of energy… and many other unpleasant symptoms.

Gourmet tip:  Grind the dried kernel into a powder and add a teaspoon to your smoothies.  Guaranteed glow!

  1. A discreet ally for your digestion

Thanks to its high fiber content, the avocado pit aids digestion and nourishes your gut flora. A great daily wellness habit, especially for those with slow digestion.

Tip:  Sprinkle a little powder into your soups, sauces or even your  homemade cakes  for a fiber bonus…  without anyone noticing.
