Store in Water – Submerge whole avocados in a container of water and refrigerate to slow oxidation.
Use Lemon or Lime Juice – Brush cut avocados with citrus juice to prevent browning caused by air exposure.
Wrap in Plastic Wrap – Tightly wrap the avocado half to limit oxygen exposure and keep it fresh longer.
Store with Onion Slices – Place an avocado in an airtight container with onion slices; sulfur from onions slows browning.
Refrigerate Whole Avocados – Once ripe, store them in the fridge to extend freshness for weeks.
Keep the Pit In – Leaving the pit inside a cut avocado helps reduce browning by limiting air contact.
Freeze for Long-Term Storage – Mash or slice avocados and freeze them in an airtight bag for up to a month.
