FAQs

Can I prepare guacamole in advance?

It’s best to prepare guacamole just before serving to maintain its fresh flavor and vibrant color. If you must prepare it ahead, store it tightly wrapped and consume within 24 hours.

How do I prevent guacamole from turning brown?

Adding lime juice helps slow oxidation, and storing guacamole in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface prevents air exposure that causes browning.
