More specifically, how do I store half of an avocado? I thought I remembered that if you left the pit in the avocado, it would keep it from browning. However, in under 8 hours, the avocado is completely brown and shriveled. Darnit!! so how do I store it for later consumption??

Keep cut avocados fresh by sprinkling lemon or lime juice on the slices. Avocado will turn brown otherwise.

Avocados do not freeze well.

My suggestion - eat the whole thing......................mmmmmmmmmmm

Good to know - i have an avocado that i'm waiting to ripen right now, but I guess i'll have to be sure to eat it fast once it's ready.

Refrigerating it doesn't do the trick, either. Darn it. I really wanted to avoid the lemon juice thing. I don't like the aftertaste it leaves.

I wonder, would plastic wrap or a Tupperware container help any?

Sorry to say - it'll brown like an apple, banana, pear - oxidation.
