Often tossed away, date pits actually have some amazing and unexpected uses! Below are some ways you can make the most of them:
Roasted date pits can be ground into a caffeine-free coffee substitute with a rich, slightly nutty flavor. Just:
– Step 1: Wash and dry the pits.
– Step 2: Roast them in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 30–40 minutes.
– Step 3: Grind them into a fine powder and brew like coffee!
Crushed date pits are loaded with nutrients and can be added to soil to help plants grow healthier.
Boil date pits in water for 10–15 minutes and this creates a tea that’s great for digestion and may help with kidney health.
Date pits can be transformed into eco-friendly charcoal by burning them slowly in a closed container. They burn cleanly and last longer than regular wood charcoal!
Ground date pits – a fantastic exfoliant for the skin—just mix them with honey or coconut oil for a natural face or body scrub.
Crazy how useful they are, right? Which one makes you surprised the most? 😊
