Don't want to eat a whole avocado at once

Leave the pit in. Also a little sprinkle of lime or lemon juice and cover tightly with saran wrap immediately. No air should get to the fruit if you can help it.0

I cover the cut part of the avocado with the empty skin of the part I just used and store in a sealed plastic zipper bag. Stays acceptable for two or three days. Don't know why it works, but it does.0

I'm loving these tips! I will try it too. Thanks people!!!
I usually wind up having the whole thing at once, so I buy smaller than average avocadoes from Aldi. It would be really nice not to have to do that!0 -

^ This !!!
if no lemon or lime, use vinegar. plastic wrap works nicely, but another option is a snack size ziplock back also works (and i add more lime/lemon/vinegar in bag).0 -
Stick it in the freezer ^_^0

I steer away from processed food, but I had the same problem with avocado. Then I found 100 calorie snack packs of wholly guacamole. The ingredient list is about as good as it gets (it's guac, so it's got spices added), but I use those snap-closed chip clips that seal and put them on the packet before I open it, then I only open half, use 50 calories worth of guacamole on my salad or tacos or whatever, then drop the other half in the fridge and it stays PERFECT. The packets also freeze very well and thaw quickly in a glass of water.0

Any acid will help slow browning, but lemon or lime juice are best because of their high vitamin C content. Oxygen reacts with the ascorbic acid (vitamin C) before reaching the avocado, providing an extra barrier. Plus, hey! It's pre-seasoned for guacamole!0

Thanks for the tips everyone!0

use the other half to make avocado ice cream (as far as I'm concerned, there is no such thing as left over avocado)... just mash it with lime juice, orange jam, pistachio nuts and put it in the freezer.
I'm mad for that stuff0 -

The brown is simply oxidation from air. Lemon or lime juice will help slow it. Tight seal will slow it, but recently I heard on a culinary program to give a quick squirt from cooking spray or even a wipe with olive oil. That will also prevent air from turning it brown. I tried it, it works great and since the cado is already oily, I just brush the spray off quickly with a paper towel. Voila, no more brown.0

Okay so I used to live really close to Mexico, everyone there always just left the pit in the unused halt and wrapped 2 paper towels over it. Thats what I do it lasts about 3-4 days in my fridge door at the top(the little door/dood egg thingy). Never has failed me and beats fighting with plastic wrap or wasting a bag.0
