How To Grow Avocado From Seed

Assalamualaikum & hi to all,

just finished my arabic homework and i am really in mood to post something about avocado. its about to grow avocado from its seed.

i read many avocado lovers grumbled about which technique is better than which in getting the root to come out from the seed. so, i intend to do the experiment myself. i named them as METHOD A and METHOD B.

so, you are going to need these items...

few avocados from the supermarket. they are Hass type, from South Africa.
 (i  bought this from our local supermarket , i didnt go to S.Africa haha...)

eat 2 avo, and keep their seeds.

a plastic and used news paper

a plastic cup/glass and toothpick

METHOD A
try to differentiate the head and the bottom of the seed. the one that is shown in the pic above is the bottom.
the root will come out from there
poke the 3 toothpick to the position shown above
place nicely so that the bottom of the seed will sip in the water
put near the window where it is exposed to sunlight. leave it there for 2-3 weeks.
  dont forget to change the water if it gets murky.
most importantly make sure there is no mosquitoes egg hatches! haha..

METHOD B

put the seed on the used news paper
wrap / crumble it with the seed inside
put in the plastic bag/container
fill in some water (tap water is fine)
throw the excess water. we just need the paper to be wet
fold loosely and leave it for 2-3 weeks

THE RESULT

FROM METHOD A
after 2 weeks plus, notice the crack, but no root
FROM METHOD B
same duration, it cracked and a healthy root jotting out from it

CONCLUSION

method B is better. you can place the seed on the soil now, placing the root in the soil. dont forget to water it :)

(sorry no pic of planting it the soil as i havent got the suitable pot for it)

good luck!

How To Make Wild Mushroom Soup

Assalamualaikum & hi to all,

Do you know how easy to  make your own mushroom soup, wild mushroom soup. i dont know why they name those mushroom as wild mushroom...

well, you are going to need :-

few types of mushroom, any type. just pick them from the vegetable shelf at the supermarket
anti clockwise. black pepper (or a tea spoon of blackpepper powder), mixed herbs, garlic and salt
2 mugs of chicken stock and a cup of milk (or coconut milk if you like)

THE STEPS
put 2 tablespoon of cooking oil and fry all the mushroom and garlic. put in the salt, blackpepper powder, mixed herbs and stir. fry until the mushrooms become dry (no excess of water)
like this
mix all the fried  mushrooms in the chicken stock.  blend them 
cook under slow fire and pour the milk once you see it boils
stir. taste it. you can add some MSG which is unnecessary. let it boil slowly for 5-10 minutes until it thickens.

How To Produce Cold Pressed Avocado Oil At Home

Salam & hi to all,

to avocado oil lovers who have avo tress at home and want to extract 100% pure, uncooked avocado oil..

you are going to need :-
4 ripe avocados. some were still good and some, as you can see were half rotten
2 spoons or a pair of chopsticks if you have!
a plate (made of alloy, or steel)

or you can use a stainless steel tray (i got this recently)

small cloth, cotton or polyester
THE PROCESS
(if you dont have a blender/mixer)
take out the seed/stone and put the riped avo flesh in a alloy/steel container.
press and mash using the back of the spoon until all turned smooth
spread the smooth mashed avo and make the layer as thin as you can.
add more plates if you wish to
put under the hot sun until they turned dark.
i left this 3 plates from morning till the evening in a day.

scrap it out using a plastic spoon. it looks like copra

put all in a container

put a small portion (1 table spoon) on the cloth and spread them

and roll the cloth like shown above

take the 2 spoon and tie the end of each cloth like shown above
twist and squeeze as hard as you can. strong fingers are better and weak ones ;p
from 4 avocados. uncooked and vitamins preserved.
look at the color! green and smells nice with no burning smell! real, genuine and pure avo oil
i like to keep empty perfumes bottles. see? i got 2 bottles of 10ml avo oil and a bottle of 5ml avo. 


your dont have to have a special machine to extract/expel avocado oil. everything can be done at home.

4 avocados can produce 50-55 ml pure, cold pressed avocado oil. i am going to make the small bottle as my eye night cream coz it has roller ball. for my facial moisturizer, the10ml (bigger bottle) is enough for a  month supply. this means my supply is enough for 2 months, since i have 2 bottles of 10 ml avo oil. cheap, easy and halal! i just love this outcome :)

just imagine if you have an avo tree which produces uncountable of avo fruits! how i wished i have an avocado orchard....

anyway, happy trying and good luck :)
