How to Grow an Avocado Tree from the Pit

Avocado is so yummy and creamy. It’s very healthy too. Though avocados are high in fat, most of the fat is heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Avocados are loaded with nutrients such as dietary fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium, magnesium, and folate. They’re also cholesterol and sodium free. Avocados contain 60 percent more potassium per ounce than bananas.”

You can grow avocado on the ground or in a planter pot. And here is a video tutorial from YouTube that you can find more details. Let’s try it and grow an avocado tree in our backyard or porch!
