What Is an Avocado Seed?

An avocado seed is within the large, hard shell beneath the flesh of the fruit. Most people simply eat around it, but are avocado seeds edible?

There’s mixed recommendations on this. The California Avocado Commission specifically states that there is not enough data to know just how good the avocado seed is for you. Basically, it recommends avoiding it for now and suggests that sticking with the amazing nutrition found in the avocado flesh is a far better choice.

On the other hand, research is being conducted, and some indicates that it may be a healthy alternative to consume and use with cosmetics.

The avocado tree originated in southern Mexico and Columbia around 7,000 years ago. The trees made their way to the United States in 1833 thanks to Judge Henry Perrine, who had them sent from Mexico to Florida.

Hass is probably the most familiar avocado name and for good reason. It was Rudolph Hass who developed the Hass variety in 1932.

The avocado industry has been going strong for decades, but the avocado seed seems to be a newer discovery. That is why there isn’t much in the way of research on this part of the fruit.

When the seed is cut in pieces, roasted and pulverized, it can be consumed to potentially help overcome issues like diarrhea and dysentery. The powdered form of the seed may help relieve dandruff, and a piece of the seed placed into a tooth cavity may help to eliminate a toothache.

Because the milk of the avocado seed turns a bit red when exposed to air, it can be used as a topical ointment or rubefacient — to redden the cheeks by causing dilation of the capillaries and an increase in blood circulation.

The seed contains a milky fluid similar in odor and taste of the almond. It turns red once exposed to air due to its tannin content, but some say the liquid is not edible.

This red-brown or blackish “ink” was used to write many documents during the Spanish Conquest — documents that are now preserved in the archives of Popayan. The ink of the avocado seed has also been used to mark cotton and linen textiles.
