how can you preserve an avocado, after it has been cut?

Answer 1

You can put it in a bowl of water with some lemon juice to keep it from browning for a very short time. Basically, if you cut it, you gotta eat it, though.

Answer 2

Some grocery stores carry a product called Fresh Produce, or something similar to it that is sprinkled on the cut produce to prevent it from browning. This sprinkled on produce and then Saran wrap over the produce so that no air touches it should prevent browning for a day or two. In my grocery story the product was located with the vinegar, paraffin wax and canning supplies.

Answer 3

Add a little lemon, put it in a glass or plastic bowl, cover with plastic wrap so the wrap is touching the avocodo and you might get 1 day out of it.

They go bad very quickly once cut.

Answer 4

citric acid will prevent browning of avocados, and apples too... for avocado I squeeze a little lemon juice (or the bottled lemon juice), same for apple, or with apple, orange juice works too. It's because of oxydation that the food turns brown...nothing harmful, just yucky looking

Answer 5

Keeps for only about 24 hours: put into a zip-lock or cover with saran, in fridge...it'll be fine. Sprinkling with lemon or lime helps too, and tastes nice as well.

Answer 6

I've always used lemon juice. Place in a bowl with 2Tsp lemon juice cut side down, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Answer 7

Make a paste with lemon juice. add the seed as well. this will help preserve it if refridgerator for a day or so.

Answer 8

lime and vinegar.
Literally, just a drop of vingegar mixed with fresh lime juice...do it all of the time..works like a charm.

Answer 9

keep the pit in it... it last for like a week... it might get a little bit brown(just a little bit) but its still good!!

Answer 10

seal it in a foil or plastic wrap and it should hopefully work
