I like to bring a 1/2 Avocado with me to work to eat with my lunch. However, if I cut them into pieces and put them in a little tupperware tub, by lunch time, the avocados get brown spots. I also tried to wrap a half of Avocad in saran wrap, but by lunch it also has brown spots. What can I do to prevent this?

Easy, just add lemon to it.

As weird as it sounds, left the pit in the avocado. It will keep it from turn brown. The only other thing that works is the avocado has to be in a air tight container. If you have one of those seal a meal that removes all the air and it will keep the avocado fresh

decrease up purely the area you will use on the feeding, and leave the rest with epidermis intact. in case you splatter lemon juice over the fleshy area of the leftovers and save interior the refrigerator in a ziploc bag or plastic field, it won't turn brown. Lemon juice is the considerable to protecting an avocado from turning brown.

You must keep them protected from the air. Plastic wraps will helps. You can also rinse them in a dilute solution of water and lemon juice. In any case the slices will not last very long. Eat um up yum!

Lemon will help. But the best thing to do is to wait to cut the avocado until you're ready to eat it.

Lemmon or lime juice works, but I recommend one of those air tight seal containers cause I like avocados and not with the taste of lemmon or lime on them.

Dip it in lemon or lime juice or vinegar or sprinkle it with Fruit Fresh to prevent oxidation. Same thing with apples to keep them from turning brown once you slice them.

Sprinkle with a little lemon juice and it preserve the color and taste of most fruits, including avocado.

use lime juice (lemon and orange can do as well) just enough to oint them, it would be great if you could spray the juice over the avocado slices
Here in Mexico if you are preparing guacamole you use 'lima' juice (it's not as acid as your lime or lemon), it has a softer taste almost unnoticeable.

Squeeze some fresh lemon or lime juice on it after you cut it.
