Expert Tips

• Pick avocados that still have the stem attached and give slightly when pressed with a finger for the best avocados.
• To store guacamole, place it in an airtight container and squeeze lime juice all over the top to prevent oxidization (browning). Cover tightly and store in the fridge for up to 1 day. Before eating, discard the excess juice on top so it doesn’t change the flavor profile of your guacamole.
