The creamy avocado can enhance almost any meal. It can be added to your favorite sandwich, tacos, salad, the possibility list is lengthy. To help us avoid encountering a sad, brown, mushy avocado, @thecrosslegacy recently shared a few tips to prevent spoilage.
If you are left with half of an avocado, place it (pit included) in a Mason jar, seal it with a metal lid and keep it in your refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to a week. Keeping it in chilly condition helps prevent oxidation, a chemical reaction that causes the fruit to turn brown.
Store unripe whole avocados in your crisper drawer next to lemons; they will last for up to a month. The acidity from the lemon peel can help slow down the oxidation which will allow you to keep your avocados longer. Allowing you to enjoy them when the temptation strikes.
