The Proven Hack to Keep Half an Avocado Fresh and Green Overnight

Preparing avocado toast but only using half? Wondering how to store the rest without it turning black? It's a common brunch dilemma we've all faced. Scrolling through TikTok for recipe inspiration led us to this gem from user @KMag, who shares a simple video trick to keep avocados fresh.

How to Prevent Avocado Oxidation

Place the cut side of the half avocado flesh-down in a container of water, then refrigerate. Miraculously, after 24 hours, the flesh stays vibrant green and creamy fresh—solving oxidation issues effectively. (Yes, avocados are technically a fruit!)

For added protection, rub the exposed flesh with half a lemon (citric acid slows browning) or brush with oil to create a barrier against air. Store in an airtight container or wrap in plastic film, and keep refrigerated—just like with lemons.
