We all know the good ol’ avo is not cheap and the thought of wasting an avocado once cut makes us shudder.
Here are some great tips to keep your avocado perfectly fresh for the next week or so.
How to keep your avocado fresh
One NZ mum went viral after discovering you could keep avocado fresh for up to a week in the fridge using nothing but a lettuce leaf.
She wrote: ‘I sort of accidentally discovered that I have been throwing away first-class food wrap.
‘Lettuce leaves, primarily the outer ones that are a bit harder, make for excellent food wrap. Since they’re designed for that purpose in the first place.’
She added: ‘It was all good for today’s breakfast. Incidentally, lettuce leaves even keep bread buns fresh.’
Other ways to keep avocados fresh:
- Rub with lemon juice and wrap with plastic wrap
- Brush with olive oil and wrap with plastic wrap
- Place in a plastic container with a cut onion
- Store in a container of water
