Lol it's a trick to keep it from turning brown πŸ˜‚

No need. If you don’t have a vacuum sealer get plastic wrap and push it down on top of the guac in its storage container so it makes full contact with the guac all around and folds out and over the sides of the storage container, then close the lid over the guac with a plastic wrap layer.

I've done this before and it's not my favorite. I really do prefer the pits. It's much easier and less messy. I agree it does work though

Fair enough. The pits method never works quite as well for me. I still get mad browning. I also use a guac-lock container sometimes which is the same concept but a purpose built product

Wow, tell me that trick really works? I thought only lemon juice works.

It doesn’t. The guac turns brown because of an enzymatic reaction between polyphenol oxidase and oxygen. The only ways to prevent browning are either an air tight container or something the deactivates the enzyme (like lime juice).

Edit- autocorrect typo, lime juice

No it doesn't work, but many people like to believe it does. There's no sensible reason why it would ever work for mashed up avocado.

Yep. And then I also use sour cream that helps quite a bit. And then I used canned jalapeno juice as well. It usually lasts for about 3 to 5 days before it starts really getting the icky brown. Couple years ago is when I started adding the pits to it before it would last, maybe two days. after adding pits is when it started getting a lot better πŸ™‚

I thought about cutting it out. But I thought this might be my premiere for my only fans for feet πŸ˜‰

Idk if it’s just me, but it weirds me out when people take a picture of their food with their bare feet in the picture lol.

Our Mexican friend told us that keeping the pits in the quacamole, keeps it fresher longer.

I learned it from some abuelitas my mom worked with. It works for me. Not everyone has to like it 🀷

Eff them. This is how my friends from Mexico make quacamole. It’s authentic. People are assholes. Eat your delicious quac and enjoy it 😊

I once swallowed an avocado pit. It hurt but I lived. You can do anything you put your mind to.
