    For those that eat a part of an avocado, what do you do with the remainder so it doesn't brown?
    Cover it with lime, fridge it will last 2 days...

    Leave the pit in and wrap it in plastic wrap (tight) and stick it in the fridge, it will stay good until the next day.

    I use (and reuse) Ziplock bags -- press it down over the exposed part of the avocado, squeeze the air out and basically do a cheap vacuum seal. It keeps for a couple days that way. If you need more power you can give it a rub with lime or lemon juice before you bag it since the acidity also helps prevent it from browning.

    As far as eating -- mixed with some low fat ricotta, vanilla or almond extract, a little bit of sugar/stevia, and a tsp of cocoa powder is delicious.

    I usually will just eat it sprinkled with a little sea salt, but I love it in a freshly made salsa as well. And on sandwiches. And with scrambled eggs. And with tacos. And in guacamole. They are one of my favorite fruits!

    Ive also heard that if you use a plastic knife instead of a metal one, it doesn't turn brown as fast. Ive never actually tried this technique, though

    I love them in homemade guacamole! Gotta watch out for the calories/fat in the chips, though.

    I always get the avocado spread on my sandwich at Subway now. I should try putting avocado on my sandwiches at home, too. :9

    If you only use part of the avocado and want to use it later - try to leave the pit still attached to the unused part and wrap the unused portion in plastic wrap. The plastic wrap NEEDS to come in contact with the flesh of the avocado in order to not brown. Then I ususally thow it in a ziploc and refrigerate. It will still brown very slighlty because its not air tight but will defintely slow the process down and allow you to eat it the next day. You can also do the same if you mash it and put in a container - just make sure it touches the plastic wrap and then cover with a lid and refrigerate.

    I eat low carb (most of the time) and I will go to a restaurant and order an omelet and always ask for sliced avocado on the side, or any salads I order, or chicken (or just about anything!).

    Advacados mashed up with tuna instead of mayo. I also like to put them in my salads.
