Tips to Preserve Avocados and Keep Them Fresh

Avocados, a favorite food, can turn brown when exposed to air.

This happens because of a process called oxidation.

To stop this, you can use lemon juice.

The acid in lemon juice slows down the browning and keeps the avocado fresh.

For unripe avocados, leave them on the counter until they soften.

Once ripe, put them in the fridge to slow down the ripening.

Applying lemon juice and storing them in the fridge can keep avocados fresh for a few extra days, so you don't waste food.
