It's supposed to be an excellent source of soluble fiber so the smoothie is more satisfying for longer than the usual fruity smoothie and keeps my blood sugar level even. One pit goes into a 4-smoothie batch (blended by a 3 horsepower K-tec). We throw it in whole because it's too hard to cut. The blender has no trouble with it though, whereas there is always a grit left after it blends blackberry or pomegranate seeds. On the internet I only found 1 mention of ingesting it: it is grated and used medicinally in Mexico. Looks like the whole tree is toxic to many animals but when we had our pet iguanas they lunged at avocado leaves with pure glee. An iguana whisperer suggested once that this is because avocadoes and cinnamon are in the same family. The iguanas also loved leaves from our cinnamon tree. We learned of adding the pit to smoothies at a raw foodist class regarding using smoothies for healing. That lack of any mention on the internet to back this up makes me wonder! Not that the internet is authoritative about anything, but gee, I'm not going to rave about eating avocado pits all day every day and that everybody should do it! You can use the inner pit of the mango too, and in some countries it's ground and used as flour, but it's too much work for me to get it out of its casing, plus so many people have allergies to the tree around here that I'm not eager to eat more parts of the mango. (It's in the same family as poison ivy. Pink peppercorns, and cashews too--another tree that's so toxic, people can die from the fumes of roasting the cashews. Even the cashews sold as 'raw' have been heated to become edible.) Raw foodists make amazing things with the avocado flesh, such as chocolate mousse!

Thanks for the tip on avocado pits in a smooothy. Is it really good? I have never eaten it. I'll have to do a search to see if anyone else is preparing it somehow. It is so freak'n big it would be nice not to throw it away. The Vietnamese people here make avocado sweet smoothies with sweetened condensed milk. I also like key limes, but your ability to allow them to totally ripen on the tree is where the magic happens. I am jealous. I also have kafir lime plant and use the leaves. The Thai people here use the zest of the fruit, not the juice for curries, but mine has never produced fruit so I have to buy them frozen. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "vashtirama" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" > wrote: > > > > "Try planting Meyer lemons -- not as sour.

The apple tree actually did not bear fruit until a couple years after I moved in. The tree is a Meyer lemon. I'm too pitta to use them much (other than in cooking) and also being pitta the lemonade would screw up the sugar metabolism. It's just better to give them away. The lemon tree also requires little care other than the pruning the gardener does.

Yep- I'm guessing 500 lemons a year from my tree. Check this out- its easy! Lemonade Combine 2 cups water + 2 cups sugar in a pyrex bowl or a saucepan, either nuke for four minutes (bowl) or stir over stove (saucepan) until all sugar dissolves into 'simple syrup'. Juice enough lemons for 2 cups of juice. Fill a one gallon pitcher about 1/3 full of ice cubes. Pour the simple syrup over the ice cubes. Stir until the liquid is cold (this cooling of the syrup prevents destroying the vitamin C in the lemon juice) Fill the gallon picher the rest of the way with the lemon juice and water, stirring 50-100 times. I drink a lot of lemonade fresh off the tree this way! Also 'invented' a 'Tequila Moonrise' with 2 shots good tequila, dash of bitters, and lemonade. Awesome refreshment!

I think it took me a grand *total* of 45 minutes the three times I did it...I should've mentioned my tree is about 8 feet wide and 10 feet high.

I didn't get many apples this year due to the weird spring weather which messed up a lot of crops in the area. Commercial growers use a spray that thins and indeed apples as well as strawberries are one of the most heavily sprayed fruits. Keeping the worms out of them is indeed another challenge.

The impression I got from her, though, is that the trees have been so neglected that they're only producing a single apple here and there. She's going to try to bring them back, but I'd imagine that would take at least a few years, no?

Oddly enough I find the apples from my tree stay firm and ripen slowly, and they are organic. Perhaps the trees sprayed with pesticides and stuff produce a different kind of apple? Judy, you may want to tell your sister that next year when all the little apples come out on the tree to thin them out, especially the clusters of two, three and four. Thin them down to one apple per branch site, and the apples will grow much larger.

My sister, who recently moved to Vermont, has some old apple trees on her property that haven't been cared for and look pretty miserable. But she discovered a couple of small, misshapen, but nice red apples on one of them, picked one, and ate it. She says it was fantastic, vastly better than any of the commercial apples she's had in years.
