Avocado Tricks You Didn’t Know
Avocado is one of those fruits many of us love, but did you know its seed holds incredible benefits too? Before I share the seed’s secret, here are some avocado tricks you might not know:
Keep it Fresh: Prevent your avocado from turning dark and losing flavor by rubbing half a lemon on the exposed half before storing it. Alternatively, store it with a cut onion in a container.
Easy Seed Removal: Avoid those hospital visits by safely removing the seed. Press the seed with a knife and twist, or press the back with your fingers.
Check for Ripeness: No more guessing! Remove the small stem at the top; if it’s green, your avocado is ripe. Another way is to rub it against your arm; if it feels wet, it’s ready.
Quick Ripening: Need it ripe fast? Place it in a paper bag with a banana overnight. For a quicker method, poke holes in it, microwave for 30 seconds, and enjoy!
And now, the big reveal! Avocado seed is packed with antioxidants and fiber. After drying and peeling, grind it into small pieces and add it to your food or drinks for a radiant glow and better digestion.
