For many people guacamole is a favorite recipe. From serving it with chips to putting it on sandwiches to a variety of other options, it has become a recipe staple. But, not all versions are the same.

One of the biggest concerns with guacamole is that you have to eat is fresh. When the enzymes in the avocado get exposed to air, they oxidize. That’s why your guacamole (and avocado) turn brown.

Not only is the color unappetizing, the taste is too. An oxidized avocado can taste bitter. No one wants a bitter avocado.
