Oxygen turns the avocado dark. Acid keeps the avocado from turning dark. Use a half of a tsp of lemon or lime juice for each avocado. Cover with plastic wrap (actually push it down so that it is completely touching the avocado) and refrigerate. It will only last for a few hours - maybe overnight. I would recommend waiting to cut it until you are going to eat it.

Store a cut avocado in a bowl with a a cut piece of onion. Wrap the bowl highly in plastic wrap. Stays perfect.

Sprinkle lemon juice over the top and wait until just before serving to mix the lemon juice in with the avacado. Or if just slicing still sprinkle with lemon juice and just pat juice off with a paper towel before eating.

Add lemon juice immediately. If you are making guacamole, i read in several Mexican cookbooks that keeping the stone in the dip actually keeps it from discoloring. I haven't tried it though.

rub w/ juice of a lemon or lime
However, if you make guacamole w/ it, just leave the pit in the bowl of guac. The pit keeps it from turning dark. I dont' know why, but it really works!

lemon juice and an air tight baggy. If the flesh is covered with water/lemon juice completely than air cannot oxidize it.

Eat it.

put in fridge...shave off black part and the rest is usually still good.

Leave the seed on it or pour freshly squeezed lemon on it.
