Is this for real? ALSO - eating the inside of apricot pits? Isn't that superbly bitter? How would one even open up an apricot pit? (Hammer, pliers, what?) Re: eating avocado pits?

Date: July 15, 2008 09:20PM I have a pair of vice-grips that have silicon pads at the stress points which are ideal for cracking open peach, apricot, and plum pits to get at the almond-like seed inside. Some are bitter, but most are not.
I've not tried cherries, but want to. If anyone has, let us know how they are. I put avocado pits in my Waring Xtreme with some water and they blend nicely. They are very high in fiber. Regards, flash Re: eating avocado pits?

Date: July 17, 2008 02:50AM Wow. How interesting. I bet the big avacado seeds (florida grown) would be great! They even seem softer. So, flash, you just drink the mixture - or spoon it? And it tastes decent? Re: eating avocado pits?

Date: July 17, 2008 03:45PM I always have it with the avocado flesh and a tomato or two at a minimum. Usually, I add a key lime, bunch of green onion, a jalapeño, a couple of cloves of garlic, and a bunch of cilantro to make a runny guacamole in the blender which I eat with celery or organic yellow corn tortilla chips (not raw). flash Re: eating avocado pits?

I wonder how this would taste using fresh raw Jicama slices ? Re: eating avocado pits?

why would u eat the avocado pits for fiber? wouldn't just about ANY other dark green leafy veggie do for fiber content? it would also be easier on the blades too Re: eating avocado pits?

Date: July 17, 2008 08:56PM The fiber in avocado pits is soluble fiber which helps keep my cholesterol in check. I could use dark leafy greens, but I have the pit readily available when I use the avocado. So far the blade is holding up just fine.

Date: July 18, 2008 01:34AM That was my concern - the blade. I am definitely going to try it - and love the guac idea. I have been making salsa frequently to put on top of salads, but am surprised by how sensitive I am to cilantro and onions now. Whew! A little goes a long way, and before going raw, I could eat both in much larger quantities. Re: eating avocado pits?

Date: July 18, 2008 08:15AM Apricot pits are probably toxic. Better research it carefully. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/18/2008 08:16AM by VeganLife. Re: eating avocado pits?

Date: July 19, 2008 06:46PM On Rawswammy.com it says you can eat the avocado pits. It talks about soluable fiber. I also noticed on blindguru.com it says the same thing. Re: eating avocado pits?

I'd say an Avocado Pit is not meant to be eaten.....WY Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
