    Left over avocado? Not sure what that even means..... j/k. On the extreme rare occasion I've had avocado left over, lemon or lime squeezed on it and wrap tight. I've even frozen avocados like that. Scoop them out, take out pit, squeeze lemon on it and put in freezer bag. Makes great guac later.

    Freezing them does work very, very well for guacamole. But it doesn't work so well for slicing after thawing. They become quite mushy. At least mine do.

    keep the pit in the half you didn't eat and wrap it up in plastic wrap and put in fridge. It works! It will slightly brown but not as bad as without the pit

    Keep the pit in, add a little lemon juice, seal tightly.

    ^^^^
    Me too hahaha

    And I find that putting it in water makes it ... Well ... Watery and slimy and just plain gross. Coming from a huge avocado eater, I wouldn't recommend this.

    Leaving the pit in is key and putting it in a ziplock like so many have said helps ... When you suck all the air out.

    Good luck! But I say eat 1/2 or the whole at a time hahaha
