Once you have learned this, you will never throw away an avocado pit again

How to use it:

• Wash and dry the pit.
• Break it into smaller pieces (you can carefully cut it or smash it with a hammer).
• Roast the pieces in the oven for about 1 hour at low heat until they dry out.
• Grind them into a fine powder using a blender or coffee grinder.
  You can add a small pinch of this powder to smoothies, soups, or teas for an antioxidant boost. (Always use in moderation — the flavor is bitter, and a little goes a long way.)

2. A Natural Plant Fertilizer

Avocado pits make excellent organic fertilizer once broken down. Their nutrients — including potassium and magnesium — nourish soil and promote healthy plant growth.

How to use it:
Crush dried avocado pits and mix the powder into your compost or soil. Over time, it enriches the ground naturally, reducing waste and helping your plants thrive.

3. A Beautiful Indoor Plant Starter

Want to grow your own avocado tree? You can easily start one from a pit!

Steps:

1. Wash the pit and remove any residue.
2. Insert 3–4 toothpicks around the middle.
3. Suspend it over a glass of water, with the bottom half submerged.
4. Place it in a sunny spot and change the water every few days.
   In a few weeks, you’ll see roots sprouting, followed by a stem and leaves. Once it grows about 6 inches tall, you can transfer it into soil. It’s a fun, rewarding way to reuse what most people throw away.
