Seriously, I just can't bring myself to throw them away. I think they're neat. -DaveK Re: Tell me i'm not the only one

Date: April 03, 2008 02:41PM I collect my peach/plum pits if I'm too lazy to smash them and eat them right after the fruit. I had a nice one going for a while.
Avocado pits are fun... I like longan pits better, because they're shiny. XD Re: Tell me i'm not the only one

Date: April 03, 2008 04:29PM Yaay I'm not wierd. Either that or we're all nuts.
I've had one pit sitting in water a couple of weeks, waiting for it to sprout. Should be soon I hope. The other ones I just have sitting in a decorative kinda bowl. Re: Tell me i'm not the only one

Date: April 03, 2008 05:31PM I like to keep those treasures in my flower beds. I also have lot's of coconut shells. Those are cool. When the kids make mud pies and mud soups they use them. Re: Tell me i'm not the only one

Date: April 03, 2008 08:19PM I hear it takes 9 months for the fruit to mature from the blossom, and avocados are shaped like a uterus. :O
I'd say, in this case, we're more "pits" than "nuts." Re: Tell me i'm not the only one

Date: April 03, 2008 09:01PM Ha! ha! Oh...like I'M not going to be around in 10 years. 10 years is just a story anyway. How about we tell a joyful story about a beautiful avocado tree....and we let time sort itself out. LOL.

Date: April 03, 2008 10:22PM Even my SAD mother-in-law when visiting has asked to take the seeds home. She tried to grow an avocado plant, but I don't think it worked. She always takes the seeds when she's here, though. My daughter used to keep them, too. I love holding them. There's definitely something special about them if so many people are drawn to them, right?
Lots of love to all of you, Wendi XOXO Re: Tell me i'm not the only one

Date: April 04, 2008 12:19AM I like them too. I don't collect them, but they are pretty...well, pretty! My favorite are lychee pits .
Speaking of pits, how in the world do you eat apricot/plum pits?!!! I've seen them sold in stores, but I never thought they were meant to be eaten as is until phantom mentioned it! Re: Tell me i'm not the only one

Date: May 01, 2008 06:02PM I bought a pair of rubber padded vice-grips as an ideal pit-cracker. I use it on peaches, nectarines, and apricot pits. They all have a seed that looks just like an almond. I haven't tried plum yet.
I did open a mango pit to discover what appeared to be a gigantic lima bean. Does anyone know if that is edible? flash Re: Tell me i'm not the only one

Date: May 01, 2008 07:04PM I discovered the same thing with mango pits, too.
It's a completely different family of fruits, though, so I have no idea... Re: Tell me i'm not the only one

Date: May 02, 2008 06:12AM You know those steel balls that people use as stress releivers by rolling them around in one hand? (Well I guess that's what they are doing) I think avacodo pits would work well for this too, don't you think so?

But maybe after that happens.
BTW my avocado pit cracked open about a week ago as if it was about to sprout, and I see a little something in the middle there. But nothing has happened since then. I have a bunch more pits to try now though! -DaveK Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
