You might have seen that viral TikTok where people submerge the half in water. Stop scrolling, and stop doing that. Yes, it blocks air, but it also makes the avocado soggy and creates a breeding ground for bacteria. You’ll end up with a flavorless, watery sponge.
Unless you want a “guacamole soup” experience—which nobody wants—just skip it. Stick to the citrus, oil, or onion methods. Your taste buds will thank you.
Also, never store a whole avocado in water. That’s just a crime against nature. Treat your avocado with respect, or it will brown out of pure spite.
