How to Store a Cut Avocado
Brush or squeeze a small amount of lemon or lime juice over the exposed flesh.
Cover it tightly with food-safe wrap or place it in an airtight container.
Refrigerate and use it as soon as practical.
Leaving the pit in place protects only the area directly beneath it. It does not prevent the rest of the exposed surface from browning.
Is Brown Avocado Safe to Eat?
Light surface browning is usually caused by oxidation and is not automatically dangerous.
The brown layer can be removed if the flesh underneath smells fresh and looks normal.
Discard avocado that has mold, a sour or rancid odor, widespread black discoloration, leaking liquid, or an unpleasant taste.
