What’s Inside An Avocado Pit?
Posted 25 June, 2008 at 1:13pm by Michael Chu(Filed under: Cooking For Engineers, Food)
While prepping the photos for a Guacamole recipe, I removed the pits from four avocados. It was at this time that I began to wonder what was inside the pit. Was there a nut inside this over sized seed like the pit of a peach, almond, or cashew?
I took a slice off of one side so I’d be able to hold the pit with stability as I cut.
I then proceeded to take slices off the pit.
I was a bit disappointed that there wasn’t anything in the pit. It’s solid through and through.

It’s pretty, though. What was the consistency of the “filling?”

It’s was relatively hard an a tiny bit grainy (not perfectly smooth after the slice). Reminded me of water chestnut, but I have no idea what a raw water chestnut’s consistency is…

Might be interesting to let one start growing and then having a look inside?
