Beware the kernel of avocados. Many say they are also eatable and oh so healthy. Hehe, think twice:

Today I red that the kernel of an avocado in fact is so poisonous that in Mexico they grate and pulverize it, mix it with cheese and fat and put it out on the street - as mouse and rat poison. Bon Appetit.

Mother nature hasn't made this kernel big and glibbery and fully loaded with an arsenal of chemcial weapons for no reason. The fruit is that attracts eating animals, but the kernel is what is the future life of the plant: its not meant to be eaten, but to get dispersed while staying intact.

Do not eat the kernels, grated or in any other way.
