I finally figured out how to keep guacamole green and fresh in your refrigerator!\u00a0 If you like guacamole then you&#8217;ve undoubtedly been faced with it going dark quickly.\u00a0 No one likes brown guacamole&#8230; gross. I always thought it was due to light hitting it, but even placing it in dark containers it still went dark. I&#8217;ve seen all kinds of ideas, including keeping the pit in with it (it DOES NOT work).<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I finally found the answer! The reason guacamole gets dark is that oxygen gets to it. There is an enzyme in avocado flesh that reacts to oxygen. Oxidation is the reason it turns a yucky brown color.\u00a0 If you keep the oxygen from reaching it, it will stay nice and green for several days. To do this you need two things: Some Saran wrap and some water. Plus a container with a lid.
