Avocados come with a long list of health benefits, but eating an entire avocado at once usually isn’t the best idea due to their high-calorie content. Storing your cut avocados can be tricky since they tend to turn brown pretty quickly, but here’s how you can stop that from happening.
Plastic Wrap
If you want your avocado to stay fresh as long as possible, don’t just leave it lying there in your fridge. The least you can do is use some plastic wrap to delay the browning process.
Citrus Method
A tiny drop of lemon juice goes a long way when it comes to keeping your avocados fresh. Citrus fruits contain strong antioxidants, and that’s why you should brush your halved avocados with lemon or lime juice before storing them in an airtight container.
Olive Oil Method
If you don’t have any lemon at home, you can repeat the same method with olive oil that doesn’t have a strong taste. It will prevent air from touching the exposed part of the avocado, keeping it fresh for longer.
Onion Method
Believe it or not, avocados and onions are a match made in heaven. Place chopped red onions in an airtight container, put avocado flesh-side up on top, and you’ll have fresh avocados for longer than usual because the vapors from cut onions will stop them from browning.
