NOTES

  • Lime juice - best practice: drizzle lime juice over the avocados after you have mashed them, this way the guacamole will stay fresh for longer and won't go brown quickly. 
  • How to store guacamole -  In case you do have some leftover guacamole, spoon it into an airtight container, pour cold water on top, close the lid, and refrigerate. Water will help the guacamole to remain fresh and green without turning brown. When ready to use, carefully pour the water out and stir the guacamole. It is ready for use.
  • Can you freeze guacamole - It is best to consume guacamole as soon as it is ready, on the same day. It is not recommended to freeze guacamole or avocados in general. The guacamole may turn brown after freezing, even if you add lots of lime juice. The taste will not be the freshest too. The best option is to make it fresh or another way is to freeze the whole avocados separately. For thawing, place the avocados in cold water for at least 30 minutes or thaw overnight in the fridge.
