Title: « How to Make Avocado Seed Powder: A Step-by-Step Guide »

par

  • Avocado seeds (quantity depends on how much powder you want to make)
  • Knife (to remove the seed safely from the avocado)
  • Baking sheet (or similar tray)
  • Oven
  • Spice grinder / high-speed blender (for grinding the dried seed)
  • Airtight container (for storage)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Extract & Clean the Seed
    • Carefully remove the seed from the avocado.
    • Rinse off any residual avocado flesh under running water.
    • Pat dry thoroughly with a paper towel or clean cloth.
  2. Dry or Dehydrate
    • Method A: Oven
      1. Preheat your oven to 200–250°F (90–120°C).
      2. Place the clean avocado seed(s) on a baking sheet.
      3. Bake for 1–2 hours, flipping halfway if needed. The exact time varies based on seed size and your oven’s efficiency.
      4. You’ll know the seed is ready when it turns a deep, reddish-brown color and becomes dry and brittle.
    • Method B: Air Dry
      1. Place the seed in a warm, dry spot for several days to a week.
      2. Turn it occasionally so all sides dry evenly.
      3. This slower method may yield a less consistent texture for grinding, but avoids oven use.
  3. Remove the Outer Skin (Optional)
    • Once the seed is dried, you may notice a thin, papery layer on the outside.
    • Peel or scrape this off before grinding—this step is optional but can result in a cleaner powder.
  4. Grind the Seed
    • Break the seed into smaller pieces (if it’s large) with a knife or by tapping it gently with a hammer—just enough to create smaller chunks.
    • Use a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or a high-powered blender to pulverize the dried seed into a fine powder.
    • You may need to grind in batches or shake the grinder between pulses to get an even texture.
  5. Sift (Optional)
    • For an ultra-fine consistency, sift the powder through a fine-mesh sieve.
    • Return any larger bits to the grinder and pulse again.
  6. Store the Powder
    • Transfer your avocado seed powder to an airtight container (like a glass jar).
    • Keep in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness.
    • Use within 1–2 months for the best flavor and potential benefits.
