Benefits of Avocado seed Tea??
Never throw away your Avocado seeds any more ?.
Avocados are, by far, my favorite food; in fact, I try to eat at least one avocado every day. The green, creamy fruit can pretty much go with anything. I add half an avocado to my morning smoothie and another half to my salad at dinnertime…and if I have a craving for nachos, I love making homemade guacamole!
Like most people, I used to toss the avocado seed in the garbage. But it turns out avocado seeds are not only healthy, but they have even been used in traditional medicine for centuries.
