11 Ways To Prevent Avocados From Browning

March 24, 2022 By Paul

Avocado contains an enzyme that turns its flesh brown when exposed to oxygen. It doesn’t affect the taste, but looks unappetizing. To prevent browning, keep oxygen away from the cut avocado. This can be done with Saran Wrap, a spritz of lemon or lime juice, or a rub or spray of cooking oil. Submerging avocado halves in a cold water bath also works. Some recommend putting the cut avocado in an airtight container with onion slices. If you have guacamole or mashed avocado, plastic wrap, citrus juice, or oil can again be used to prevent air from touching the surface. Storing the guacamole in a thin container also helps. Or you could just finish eating all the avocados or guacamole.

Key Takeaways:

  • Keep oxygen away from the cut side with Saran Wrap, cooking oil, or lime or lemon juice.
  • Alternatively, place avocado halves in the a cold water bath in the refrigerator.
  • For guacamole, covering with Saran Wrap, cooking oil, or citrus juice also keeps oxygen away.
