6 days agoThe Best Anti-Browning Method For Avocados Is Hiding In Plain Sight - Tasting Table
Leave unused avocado unpeeled and cover exposed flesh with a damp paper towel to limit oxygen contact and slow browning.
When we say to keep your avocados with lemon, we don't mean placing the two side-by-side in a bag the way people do to get fruits to ripen faster. Rather, a squeeze of lemon juice will help the green, ripe avocado delay the browning process it eventually undergoes after it's been cut and exposed to air. When avocados experience oxidation, their enzymes interact with the air and eventually break down, leading to a brown coloring.
