> What about leftover avocado? Any way to keep it from browning? Oxygen is the enemy of avocados—it's what causes them to turn that unsightly brown.

I am very surprised this article nor the comments mention what my wife does: keep the pit inside the mashed avocado. It will stay green much longer!

No idea where she learned this but it works. We always joke to friends this tricks the avocado into thinking it is still complete.




100% this. Keeping the pit in guacamole is the trick. I am happy you commented. I was about to do the same when I realized the article missed this!


I've never had much luck with the pit keeping it from browning. Onion, on the other hand, is practically magic.


You put an union in the left over mashed avocado to prevent it from browning?


Ha, not in it. Just has to share the same airspace in the container.


Phewww ;)
