To preserve avocados, follow these steps:
1. Store unripe avocados at room temperature until they ripen.
2. Once ripe, store them in the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process.
3. If you have cut an avocado and want to save it for later, sprinkle lemon juice on the exposed flesh, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
4. You can also freeze mashed avocado by adding lemon juice and placing it in an airtight container or freezer bag.
Remember that avocados will darken when exposed to air, but this does not affect their taste or quality.
