All these tricks are useless if you leave your avocado half in a Tupperware with a loose lid. That’s like locking your front door but leaving the window wide open. Use a sealable container that fits the avocado snugly.
Better yet: don’t use a container at all. Wrap the half in plastic wrap so tightly that the wrap kisses every curve of the flesh. Press out every last bubble of air. It’s like shrink-wrapping a mango for a space mission.
If you’re feeling eco-friendly, a silicone stretch lid works too. Just make sure it’s skin-tight. Your avocado should feel claustrophobic—that’s how you know it’s safe.
