Make it the day you need it (if you can), add lemon or lime juice, and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the food when you store it in the fridge.
The pit actually doesn't help with the browning at all.
Add some sort of acid to it like Lime or Lemon juice. The acidity controls the oxygen which is what causes the avocado to turn brown.
lemon juice
sprinkle with lime juice
Add acid (lemon, lime juice or whatever) as soon as you put in the avacado and then make sure you have an air tight cover on it when not in use.
lemon juice...
forget the pit---squeeze a half lemon or lime into it and stir well--it won't effect the taste--be sure to cover
lemon juice will help, but will still not keep long. Try taking some saran wrap and placing in directly on top of the guac. make it fit like a skin right on top( you know kinda like pudding gets a skin on it?). then wrapping your container around the top with more.
Use lemon juice in it. When I store it in the refrig overnight I take a piece plastic wrap and push it down on the surface of the dip so that all the air is kept away from it. The put the lid of the container on it. I leave the edges of the plastic wrap on the outside of the container. There will minimal oxidation of the fruit and it should still be that gorgeous green.
lemon juice and cover with plastic wrap
no
