Ground into a powder and used in very small quantities, avocado pits primarily provide fiber. Fiber contributes to digestive comfort and promotes regular bowel movements when included in a varied diet. The goal is not to consume large amounts, but to add a touch, much like you would with seeds or flakes.
A way to feel full for longer
Fiber also has another advantage: it prolongs the feeling of fullness. Sprinkled into a smoothie, yogurt, or a bowl of oatmeal, kernel powder can help curb cravings, especially when trying to better listen to your body's hunger and satiety signals.
A discreet everyday ally
The avocado pit also contains antioxidant compounds, naturally present in many plants. These substances help protect cells against everyday external aggressors, such as stress and pollution. Nothing exceptional, but a nice bonus when included in an already balanced diet.
Beauty: a smart and natural use
On the beauty front, avocado pits also have their uses. Once ground into a slightly grainy powder, they make an excellent base for gentle homemade scrubs. Combined with honey or a vegetable oil, they help to gently exfoliate the skin and remove dead cells, leaving it smoother and brighter without irritating it.
