One of the most unexpected recipes on the Emulsionizer tour has been this green gazpacho with avocado seed. Here we show some tips on how to make the most of food that will surely surprise you. We will use as ingredients parts of vegetables and fruits that are normally discarded to get a healthy and nutrient-packed green gazpacho.

Is the avocado bone edible?

In addition to being edible, the avocado bone provides 70% more fiber than avocado pulp, contains a lot of collagen that promotes healthy nails, hair and bones. Its high fiber content aids digestion.
So there is no reason to throw it away.

Eating it directly is unpleasant because it’s very bitter, but if we mix it with another ingredient to compensate the bitterness, the mixture can be delicious. This recipe is been created by the our friend and cook Joaquín Adarve who is a culinary alchemist whom we appreciate.

  • Cabbage or spinach can be substituted for any other vegetable such as lettuce leaves, chard, kale, etc. Do not hesitate to use whatever you have at home.
