Don’t throw away the avocado pit, you can use it in many different (and unexpected) ways

We have already told you about the enormous creative potential of avocado peel and seeds, which can be used to dye fabrics naturally. The hazel is no exception, in fact it too can be used in the same way as long as the fabric or skein of thread you choose is made of cotton, wool, linen or any vegetable fibre.

But the kernel can also be used in other ways, let’s discover the main reuses.

Miniature sculptures

There are those who even create beautiful miniature sculptures with avocado pits. She is Jan Campbell, an Irish mother and craftsman who one day had a brilliant idea: to sculpt her hazelnuts one by one into tiny figurines inspired by Celtic folklore. What can I say, the result is spectacular. If you are creative and have good manual skills, you could try it too!

The avocado stone has fertilizing properties and can be used to enrich the soil of plants. However, first it is necessary to let it dry and grind it. The powder thus obtained must be mixed with the soil and poured around the roots.

Grow a plant

You can sprout a new plant from the stone by cleaning it thoroughly from the pulp residues. Here we explain step by step how to proceed.
