I just learned the most simple tip for keeping guacomole or avocado halves from turning brown - just simply keep the pits in!  It stays fresher and true color for much longer.

PS I apologize if this is common knowledge to all - I had no idea!

It does help but still dosen't keep some browning from happening.

@Kitlynn   Yes you are absolutely correct.  I'm the only one in my house that likes avocado so at least now I have a chance to finish the whole thing before it totally goes bad.  For a party a large guacomole dip lasted almost 2 days with the pits.  The little things in life make me happy!

I find that lemon or lime juice works well.

ProTip #1:  Cut short ways for reduced exposed surface 

ProTip #2:  Use Ball Jars with rings/lids for reduced air exposure

ProTip #3:  Freeze

(all without added pit or lemon juice, etc)

My ‘mind blown’ tip was freezing.

I just recently found out CostCo sells large bags of frozen avocado!

Whaaaaaaa?

@sidsmom . Ohhh, I thought you meant freeze the leftover avocado. So you can freeze the whole bag? I just got back from the store and purchased two ripe ones for tonight. They also had a mesh bag of about 8. So I could put that in the freezer like that?
