I absolutely LOVE avocado! But, they brown so fast.. I'm never able to eat a whole avocado at once and I need to store half until the next day. I found myself not eating as much avocado as I'd like because I didn't want to see half go to waste every time.
A Pinterest search concluded that I should drizzle the avocado with lemon juice or lime juice to prevent browning. That may work fine if you intend to use it for quacamole or avocado mash to spread on toast. Adding a liquid, especially an acidic liquid, just results in a mushy mess. I prefer mine sliced fresh, so the mushy method is not my favorite.
Through a deeper search, I found that storing your avocado half in a container along with cut onion prevents browning as well. Awesome! I can have fresh avocado the next day without the mush! It worked wonderfully... until the day I needed to store a half and didn't have a fresh onion...
Hmmm... What to do?? I decided to check my spice cabinet for onion powder and give that a try. At this point my avocado was already cut and I had nothing to lose. It was a waste for sure if I didn't at least try.
