Unfortunately, when exposed to air for too long, polyphenol oxidase (read: the stuff found in an avocado's chemical makeup) causes guacamole to become mushy and brown. No thanks!\r\n\r\nThere's always the option to pick up one of our Test Kitchen's picks of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-guacamole-taste-test\/\">best guacamole brands<\/a> at the store, but if your heart's set on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-guacamole\/\">homemade guacamole<\/a>, then grab a couple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-tell-if-an-avocado-is-ripe\/\">ripe avocados<\/a> and read on.\r\n\r\nBonus: If you're interested in knowing how to keep your guacamole looking and tasting fresh for up to a week, we've got the perfect kitchen gadget for you\u2014the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/guac-lock-guacamole-container\/\">Guac Lock<\/a>.\r\n<h2><strong>How to Keep Guacamole from Turning Brown<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-1760311 size-large alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/keep-guacamole-from-turning-brown-TH143190D10_09_18bC-MLedit.jpg?fit=700,700\" alt=\"person adding water to the top of a container of guacamole\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n\r\nWhat's the secret? Cover the guacamole with 1\/2-inch of water. It might sound strange, but the extra layer shields the dip from oxygen and thwarts browning. For best results, follow these steps:\r\n<h3>1. Place guacamole in a sealed container<\/h3>\r\nIt's critical that the guacamole be stored in an airtight container\u2014like these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/glass-storage-containers\/\">glass storage containers<\/a>\u2014rather than, say, a bowl covered with foil. Using an airtight container keeps the amount of oxygen coming into contact with the guacamole to a minimum. It also locks out moisture and humidity, which maintains food's freshness.\r\n<h3>2. Use a spoon to smooth out surface<\/h3>\r\nWith a metal spoon, flatten the surface, taking care to remove all air pockets. If you haven't already caught on, air is an avocado's enemy. By reducing the chances of the guacamole coming into contact with air, you reduce the chances of discoloration.\r\n<h3>3. Pour water over the guacamole<\/h3>\r\nFill a measuring cup with water that's cool or room temperature. Gently pour about a half inch of liquid over the top of the dip. Make sure water covers the surface completely\u2014all the way to the container's edge.\r\n\r\n<em>Editor's Tip:<\/em> You may have heard a squirt of lemon or lime juice also keeps guacamole from browning. It's true\u2014as long as you cover the entire surface of the dip with citrus juice.\r\n<h3>4. Store guacamole in fridge<\/h3>\r\nRefrigerate the container of guacamole, covered tightly, for up to two days.\r\n\r\nTo serve, carefully pour off the water and stir the guacamole. Now it's time to pull out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-tortilla-chips\/\">best tortilla chips<\/a> and get dippin'!\r\n<h2>FAQs About Storing Guacamole<\/h2>\r\n<h3>Why does guacamole turn brown?<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1760310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/guacamole-THJJ18_38391_D01_31_3bC-MLedit.jpg?fit=700,700\" alt=\"Guacamole in a blue bowl with a few tortilla chips surrounding on a marble surface\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe enzyme polyphenol oxidase reacts with oxygen and discolors the avocado. It's the same chemical process that causes other produce like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-keep-potatoes-from-turning-brown\/\">potatoes<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/5-minute-hack-will-keep-apples-browning\/\">apples<\/a> to turn brown. Since oxidation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-keep-an-avocado-from-turning-brown\/\">turns avocados brown<\/a> it also impacts a bowl of guacamole.\r\n<h3>Is it OK to eat guacamole when it turns brown?<\/h3>\r\nYes. It's safe to eat! Well, it's safe as long as the guac has been stored in the fridge for not longer than two or three days. It may not look as appetizing as a fresh bowl of guac but like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/can-you-eat-brown-avocado\/\">brown avocado<\/a>, brown guacamole can be safely eaten.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make party-ready guacamole days in advance\u2014or keep leftovers fresh for later.
