8 Creative Ways to Use Avocado Pits (3 of 5)

4. Homemade Face Scrub

It’s really easy to make a natural face and body scrub from the comforts of your home. Start by grinding up a dried pit in a food processor, chop it into pieces, and turn it into a powder with the help of a spice blender. Then, add one mashed banana along with a tablespoon of almond or coconut oil. Finally, apply it to your face or body, rinse, and feel like a new person!

5. Grow an Avocado Tree

Given that sprouting an avocado seed doesn’t take a whole lot of effort, you probably won’t be surprised to know that growing an avocado tree isn’t that hard either. First, buy yourself a house in a region of Florida or California known for moderate humidity and warm temperatures all year round (See? Easy as pie!). Next, plant that puppy into the ground, give it some water and a bit of love, and you’ll have a tree full of homegrown avocados in no time (and by that, we mean in around 5 and 13, years depending on when the tree feels like birthing them).
