🥑 Don’t Ruin Your Avocado’s Nutritional Power! Here’s What You’re Probably Doing Wrong
Avocados are packed with healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals—but a simple everyday mistake can cause them to lose their benefits fast!
The common culprit? Leaving avocado flesh exposed to air after cutting.
This causes enzymatic oxidation, making your avocado turn brown, lose flavor, texture, and key nutrients like vitamin E and healthy fats. It also means wasted food and money!
How to Keep Your Avocado Fresh and Nutritious:
-
Add Lemon Juice 🍋
A few drops of lemon’s citric acid slow down oxidation. -
Use Olive Oil 🫒
A light coating creates a protective barrier that locks in freshness and boosts flavor. -
Store Smart 🥄
Leave the pit in the unused half, cover tightly with plastic wrap or use an airtight container, and refrigerate.
Pro tips: Add a slice of red onion in the container or freeze mashed avocado with lemon for longer storage.
Take care of your “green gold” — it’s good for your heart, skin, and wallet! 💚💸
