The Avocado Kernel

That avocados are super healthy, we all know. In a very short time, the avocado has made a big comeback, thanks to the health-trends. Justly, because avocado has a lot of powerful nutrients that work very beneficial to humans. I must confess that I'm not crazy about the taste... To be honest, I don’t like the taste at all.

Earlier I read that avocado seeds are also pretty eatable, and they can be processed in many smoothies.

Well, throwing away the kernel isn’t allowed from now on ;)

But how do you crack them? And how can you use them? First, you clean the seeds and make them dry, preferably with a paper towel. Then you crack them into at least 2 peaces, now you can remove the small “skin” of the seed.
