What can I do to stop my guacamole from turning brown?

Answer by  traumatised (3285)

My Cuban friend says to always put the avocado stone in with the prepared guacamole. It seems to work, but guacamole never really sits around that long in my house...

Try mixing in lemon juice, lime juice, or mixing in salsa. Also, some people put the avocado pit in the dish. Remove before serving.

All guacamole will turn brown. One thing to keep the avacado green longer is to add lemon juice to the avacado before adding other ingredients. Always serve fresh

That's an easy one, give it a squirt of lime juice. Mix it in well and it will keep it green longer, even without refrigeration!

lemon or lime juice to act as an antioxidant to prevent the iron in the avocado from oxidizing. Iron is the reason why avocados turns brown in the first place.
