Avocados are undeniably one of the most popular superfoods. Of course, it’s because their nutrient-rich pulp is so delicious and adaptable! That said, there’s a good chance you’ve only scratched the surface of all the amazing ways you can use avocados — perhaps literally if you’re not making sure to scrape out all of the darker, healthy bits of pulp that cling to the peels.

Despite avocados having been part of the human diet for centuries, it seems we’ve only recently begun unlocking all the potential hiding in this incredible fruit. Sure, the go-to use for whipping up yummy guacamole will always be one of the ways to use avocados, but there’s so much more you can do with them. Take a look below to see all the ways you can get more use out of your avocados!
