How to Save Half of an Avocado

Tips on saving half of your avocado

You just cut open a fresh avocado from Mexico, how are you going to save the other half? With these easy tips on how to save half of an avocado, you’ll be able to enjoy the fresh deliciousness throughout the week!

• Cut open the avocado and remove the pit. Immediately coat the flesh of one half with fresh lemon juice. Wrap the avocado half in plastic wrap and place in the fridge. It’s as easy as one, two, three.
• An even easier method is to submerge your ripe avocado in water. Cut your avocado in half and fill a glass or plastic container near full with water. With the flesh-side down, place the avocado in the container, cover, and place in the fridge. This will keep the avocado from turning brown for about another two days.
• If your avocado is already ripe but you aren’t planning on eating it quite yet, simply place the whole fruit in the refrigerator. This will let you enjoy your avocado a few days later!
