How to Keep Avocados From Turning Brown

[fantaztika]

I have always used aluminum foil, tightly wrapped around the avocado half without the pit. It works every time.

I applaud your effort but you have one major flaw - the control and water samples had no pit while all the others did. So it's not really apples to apples.

would be nice to have them keep longer but mine are going brown or black just after i cut them open. their also dry inside not completly but enough so i dont want to eat them. todays avacados are nothing compared to the ones i got off my grandmas tree when i was a kid.

Great video, thanks for posting it.

I have one additional tip: to keep guacamole fresh, put it in a tall thin container such as a mason jar instead of a bowl. (In a bowl, a large amount of the surface is exposed to the air; in a jar, only a tiny area is exposed (particularly if you insert the pit). The tiny exposed area can be kept fresh with some lemon juice or onion chunks, as you show in the video. (I'd avoid plastic, to avoid leaching BPA and other chemicals into the food)

can you use ordinary cooking oil?

You used red onions in your demonstration, does it have to be red onions?
