18 Mar 2019 --- Although inedible in their original form, avocado leaves and seeds contain oils and compounds that can benefit health. This is according to two new studies, which found that avocado seed oil and avocado leaf possess anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant compounds, respectively, that may prevent a number of diseases such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The studies flag the potential nutritional benefits of parts of the avocado that are traditionally discarded and note that these may, in fact, hold value for the food industry.
