AVOCADO HINT - forgot to share an Avocado Hint which read and which works ... since we often only eat 1/2 the Avocado between us at one setting, we always had brown leftovers .. well .. we did as the Hint said and yesterday we put a half of an onion in the plastic ziploc bag along with the unpeeled 1/2 Avocado, and today we had a perfect Avocado - green and pretty .. looked and tasted good in our green salad both yesterday and today. The Hint said that apparently the onion gives off a chemical which keeps the Avocado from turning brown. And now am wondering if this is the reason that most fixings with Avocado have diced onion in the mix .. Hope this helps others.

Another tip, especially for guacamole is to put the pit back into the guacamole and it will not turn brown. It stays a pretty nice green color.

I'll try the onion tip.We usually squirt some lemon or lime juice on the exposed portion of the avocado with the pit still in place, and have had mixed results.So the rumor is that the Mexican cartel (Knights Templar) is maneuvering to control avocado sales and production, as they are currently doing with limes. We need to preserve them well, because they are going to get expensive.

Mama always put the pit back into the uneaten half...and it also worked to put it in the guacamole until ready to serve.

Left over Avocado......never heard of such a thing!:BWe eat them with a little salt, pepper and a spoon.......

Thanks for the tips. We love avocados. There were groves of them in CA when we lived there '61-64. Hope the groves are still there.

Aldi's has a sale this week $.79 in NY so we bought 16...so far. We will peel and mash them and add a teaspoon and put them in freezer. Then we use them to put in a chocolate pudding/mousse recipe. I have not tried using the frozen/thawed for guacamole.

Thanks for the onion and pit tips~! will try.
