The vinegar site says spritzing with vinegar prevents potatoes from
turning black... I wonder, might it prevent avocados from turning
too?

Is it ok to eat avacodoes when they turn? I mean, when they were ok
and you cored one but didn't eat it all. And it turns a day later.

You should put plastic wrap over the open part. Then you should put it in
the refrigerator. It should not get black if air doesn't get in contact
with the open part. When in the refrigerator it stops ripening.

Now I eat an entire avocado. (The ones I get are fairly small.) This comes
from my mother who only eats a half at a time.

If you remove the seed in the half you are saving, you can't really get the
plastic wrap into the seed hole. So she leaves the seed in.

You do peel your avocados, don't you? You cut into quarters. I start the
cuts at the stem hole. Then you can peel the skin off each quarter. If you
are going to save half, then don't cut the fourth slash.

Lemon or lime juice is what I normally use. I don't think vinegar
would complement the avocado.

It won't kill you. Whether you enjoy it or not might be another
matter.

That's a good point that I missed. I've never cut into an avocado and
not eaten all of it in one go. They're not *that* big... are they??

I just cut them in half, whack the knife into the seed, dispose of the
seed and scoop the flesh out with a large spoon in two large pieces.
I don't bother 'peeling' them.

I have lemon juice, but it's like a year old... is it still ok? I
should probably chuck... was not very expensive anyway. I think it
it says: refrigerate after opening, but doesn't say how long.

It'd be safe to consume but certainly not at it's peak of flavour
Might pay to taste it first...

It should have an expiration date on it.

Lemon juice in a bottle? Why don't you buy fresh lemons? The only
reason you'd need the bottled type is for canning purposes.

Not true. I buy the little squeeze lemons and I also have the powdered
juice. Real lemons are expensive here and I will only buy them if I need
them specifically for some recipe. Otherwise, I might buy one or more and
it will rot before I use them.

Lemons were dirt cheap in NY and I could get a huge bag the size of a bed
pillow for around $3. I kept a bowl of them on my counter all the time and
put them in my water. I wish I could do that here but I can't afford to.

hmmm... I did buy a fresh one, but it went gnarly. Neice said they
are good for removing stains, dishwasher stains. Is this true?

Lemons are pretty cheap. I should just get a couple... what about
keeping avacodoes from turning?

No idea, but I can tell you that baking soda and just enough hydrogen
peroxide to make it a paste really does work.

I don't get my panties in a wad if the cut surface of an avocado is
oxidized (the discoloration doesn't go deep). I just cut it off and
continue as usual. If it's actually "turned", meaning rotten...
that's what happens when you don't use soft fruit in a reasonable
amount of time.

Will report back... Got two avocadoes in the fridge, ready... do you
know what "avacodo" means in spanish?

Commercial or home made?

> going to try vinegar, lemon juice.

Are you saying you keep homemade guacamole in the refrigerator for
*days*? Why are you treating it like a commercial product? Make only
what you can eat and then make another batch the next time you want
some.
