No but it can be made into a plant.

It is a seed, seeds, are there to re-grow things. You are not to eat the seed.

So please step away from the seed... Take two steps to the right and put it in the trash.

I repeat...

You are not to eat the seed.... Step away from the seed... Take two steps to the right and put it in the trash.

I have never eaten an avocado seed nor have I ever known anyone who did. I'm only 70 years old perhaps I still have time. I have an Aunt who grows the seeds but not with a great deal of success as they only get to about 8" tall before they die off.

I don't know of anyone who eats any of the large seeds i.e. mangoes either.

I know they are used in the cosmetic field for washes and scrubs to defoliating the skin.

Can you tell us all how you prepare it to eat them. I have neer seen the seed of an avacado eaten before.
You are not talking of the inside of the avacado the green meat in it are you?

Many people start avocado trees as novelty house plants by piercing the seed with its pointed end up, partially through with toothpicks on three or four sides to hold it on the top of a jar or vase partly with water and few pieces of charcoal (to keep the water sweet) just covering the base. In 2 to 6 weeks, when roots and leaves are well formed the plant is set in potting soil. Unless they're moved into soil within a few weeks or months after germination, they'll begin to deteriorate.
They are also easily sprouted in a well-drained 4- or 5-inch pot of porous, fertile soil. The top of the seed should just barely peek above the surface of the soil. If the soil is kept fairly moist and the temperature is between 60 and 70 degrees, the seed will begin to sprout and a pretty, leafy plant will develop.
When the seedling reaches 12 inches, it should be pinched back to about 6-8 inches to produce a rounder, fuller plant. Avocados grown inside thrive in sun or in a good, lighted location. Once they've filled their pots up with healthy roots, they should be potted in larger ones. Repotting should be done in the spring. Well-rooted plants should be given a dilute liquid fertilizer every week or two. Watering should be done so that the soil never becomes really dry but isn't ever soggy and waterlogged. They should be fertilized with a balanced houseplant food every two or three weeks in the summer and about every six weeks during the winter. It's also a good idea to mist the leaves of your Avocado if the air in your home is very dry. Indoor trees need low night temperatures to induce bloom. Transplanting should be done in early spring. Potted plants should be moved outdoors gradually, so they can acclimatize themselves, and adjust to the new elements.

I honestly didn't know you could eat them. I've always used them to practice my golf swing. My neighbor never could understand why avacado trees kept coming up in his azaleas & his roses & his hydrangeas & his gutters. You get the idea. I need all the practice I can get.
