When an avocado turns brown overnight, does that mean it's actually gone BAD?!


Question:

When an avocado turns brown overnight, does that mean it's actually gone BAD?

I have a sandwich with avocado in it and I left half in the fridge to eat the next day. If the avocado turns, is the sandwich ruined?


Answers:
No. It just was exposed to air.
It won't hurt you or taste any different

YES!!!

Oh no, it's just oxidized. If you scrape off the brown it'll be green underneath. Basically, it rusted. Next time hit it with some lemon juice and it won't do that so fast.

yeah its bad avocados cant be left in the fridge too long they turn bad if its not green dont eat it

no that just means that it sufficated over night and needs to be eaten quick.

That depends on how long its been since you opened the avocado.
If it was within a day or even 2, it could just be that the exterior layer of the avocado needs to be sliced away and the bright green color should show again.
But if its been longer than 2 days, it could be spoiled.
Avocadoes tend to spoil fast.

No, avacado's are like potatoes they react when exposed to the air. They are still good to eat they just look kinda gross.

I am not quite sure if it is already bad. I do know a cool trick though, when you use lots of different fruits or veggies you can put a little lemon juice on them to prevent them from turning brown!! Cool huh??

When avocado sits outside its skin for an amount of time it turns brown. If it was in the fridge then I would say its fine. Its the same with apples or potatoes. If you don't want to eat the avocado then throw it out. and just eat whats left

One way for you to stop that is puting some lemon on the avacado, if you don't it will turn on you and it don't taste right.

No, it is not bad yet. When you let air hit avocado it will turn brown but it is not bad, but you can't wait too long or it will deterioate

It is not ruined. I have eaten a brown tinted avocado and it's flavor is just slightly different. The best way to keep an avocado in the fridge is to cut of just what you want and keep the skin and seed in it. I usually eat half at a time so I cut it in half and put the other half with the skin and seed in a plastic zip bag. It turns brown just like an apple does when it sits for a while, and those are okay to eat, right?

As long as you take the avocado out the snadwich is still good. Next time take it off your sandwich and put it in a sandwich bag and try taking as much air as you can but make sure to eat it the next day. Because once avocado is cut open it will start browning not unless you put the pit with it.

Hello!

Most of the times that is the case. When an avocado changes color, it changes its flavor profile. Best way to keep the color and most of the taste in an avocado is to keep the seed in or around the avocado, also the addition of milk (in the case of guacamole)...
