Some time ago a friend, who is somewhat of an expert in nutrition, told me of the many health benefits of eating avocado seeds. Since then I grate them in salads....and I'm still on the planet. I haven't noticed any particular health changes from eating them, but I'm in pretty good shape anyway. BTW, when I eat apples I eat the seeds as well. A WHOLE apple a day keeps the doc away? Both apple and avocado seeds have a nice almond taste that I like.
