It turns brown after a day or two exposed to air. I usually fill the empty part of the package with water but it makes part of the guac mushy. Any better suggestions?
How do you save half open package of guac?

Before learning the water trick, I did that but never could get it totally airless. Got maybe an extra day or two out of it.

When the Wholly Guacamole single serve packs are on sale I get those and its no problem. Regular packs are too big for that.

Lemon juice slows the oxidation.

This has worked for me, although I rarely have any left over.

If you press the saran wrap flush against the guac it will keep. Maybe try a spritz of lime juice on top followed by the saran wrap?

Lemon juice usually does the trick for me to save it for another day. I stopped making it at home a few weeks back and switched to the single serve packs from Costco, lot more plastic to recycle but the convenience is worth it.

Agree- this is what my wife does for her home-made quac.

You sir, are an evil man. Perhaps he is trying to keep his youthful, girlish figure?
Ok, make sure you have enough lettuce next time

You can also freeze it. But take up the air gap with saran wrap pressed up against it.
We buy Avacado's, mash them and freeze in a Zip-Lock bag with all the air evacuated. They slightly discolor but are still green in the freezer even after a month.
