  • Cover and refrigerate: After the avocado is submerged in water, cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap to ensure that no air can get to it. Pop it in the fridge.
  • Enjoy days of freshness: When you’re ready to use your avocado, just remove it from the water. You’ll notice it still looks as fresh as the day you cut it, with no brown spots!

    • 🥑 Why This Works

    The key to this hack lies in the oxidation process. When you cut an avocado, exposure to air causes the enzymes in the flesh to oxidize, which leads to browning. Submerging the avocado in water eliminates the air exposure and slows down this process significantly. It essentially creates a barrier that keeps the flesh fresh, just like it was when you first cut it.

    🥄 Bonus Tip: Keep Guacamole Fresh Too!

    If you’re making guacamole and want to keep it from turning brown, try this simple hack:

    1. Use water: Once you’ve prepared your guacamole, smooth the top down with a spoon and pour a thin layer of water over the surface.
    2. Seal and refrigerate: Cover with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid, and store it in the fridge. The water acts as a shield from air, preventing oxidation.

    🌱 Other Surprising Avocado Hacks You Didn’t Know To Do

    • Store in a sealed container: For halved avocados, if you don’t want to submerge them in water, store them in an airtight container with a squeezed lemon or lime wedge. The acid from the citrus helps slow browning.
    • Use the pit for longer storage: If you only use one half, keep the pit in the unused half to help slow down browning and keep it fresher for a day or two.
    • Freeze for later: If you have extra avocados that are starting to get overripe, mash them up and freeze them! You can use the frozen avocado in smoothies, baking, or guacamole.
