[Curiosities] The trick to keep guacamole green and fresh

[Dr.Drako]

 

Covering the guacamole that we have left with a layer of warm water will serve to prevent it from rusting and keeping it green and fresh in the fridge.

In summer there is nothing like preparing a rich guacamole sauce, or cooking the odd salad that has avocados among its ingredients, but it is a common thing that when we keep guacamole or avocado open in the fridge, we find it a different color the next day. . Luckily, there is a trick to keeping guacamole green and fresh.

 

The truth is that the avocado is one of the many fruits that when cut or opened, begin an oxidation process that causes it not only to lose some nutrients but also change color. In the case of avocados in particular, you may have seen how it goes from green to black, being much less appetizing to eat and if we have thought of making guacamole, we will also see how it has darkened, and also it is no longer good.

Luckily we have at our disposal a simple trick that will allow us to keep green and fresh avocado in our fridge and specifically, the guacamole that we have prepared and that we have left over.

 

These are all the steps to apply the trick in question, and for which only a little water is required.

 

We will start by pouring the guacamole sauce that we have made in a tupper or a jar, which is better to be airtight.
Next, we have to cover the sauce with a layer of warm water.

The next step will consist of covering the tupper or jar with the lid or in the case of not having it, with a little transparent plastic wrap.
Now we can put it in the fridge to check that the next day it is ready to drink without problem. It will be enough to stir that yes, the sauce and voila! or if you prefer you can remove the water that you have poured over it with the help of a spoon.

The trick to preserve guacamole works because the water acts as a protective shield, thus preventing oxygen from coming into contact with the mixture, and with this we prevent the oxidation that we have mentioned then from occurring and that our sauce does not lose its flavor or its creaminess.

 

With the trick you can also keep your homemade guacamole sauce without changing it at all for three days.

And to preserve the avocado?

 

In the event that you have used only one of the avocado halves and want to keep the other one without it rusting or changing color, you can do something as effective as covering the avocado with lime juice or vinegar, wrapping it in plastic wrap and You store it, or you can also store it in a container, and then freeze it.
