What to add to guacamole to keep it from turning brown?

Pour a thin but visible layer of water or lemon/lime juice over the guacamole to form a barrier with the air. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, pushing the wrap, so it is flush with the guacamole to prevent air pockets, or put the guacamole in a sealed tub. Put it in the fridge.

How do you make store bought guacamole taste homemade?

Sprinkle in Some Salt and Pepper This might seem obvious, but something as simple as salt and pepper can really bring out the flavors in a bland, store-bought guacamole. I recommend adding sea salt and fresh cracked red pepper for the best flavor transformation.

Is a guacamole healthy?

Guacamole packs impressive health benefits. From heart-healthy monounsaturated fats to gut-friendly fiber, avocados make guacamole into nutrient-dense condiment. Potassium is an essential nutrient for regulating blood pressure and balancing the fluids in our body.

Why does mashed avocado go brown?

Avocados contain an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase, which causes the flesh brown when exposed to air—or more specifically, when it's exposed to oxygen. So in order to maintain that gorgeous green color, the flesh of an avocado needs to be protected from oxygen exposure.

How do you make avocados ripen in minutes?
