If you want to keep your guacamole fresh and from turning brown do these steps.
- Put plastic wrap over it and keep in an air tight container. Oxygen and guac do not mix!
- Add some lemon to keep it acidic but doesn’t change the flavor too much. Lemon or lime works best.
- Keep the big seed in the center of the guacamole.
- An alternative to plastic wrap is to place piece of white bread on top.
