Now you've made the perfect guacamole, how do you stop it from going brown too quickly? Despite the old wife's tale, putting the avocado pit in with the guac won't stop it from becoming oxidized, but there is another way. Covering your dip in Saran-wrap and actually pressing it onto the surface of the dip to create an oxygen seal is a very effective and easy way to keep it green for longer. If by some miracle you actually have left-over avocado pieces, you can submerge them in water in the fridge to keep them fresh and away from oxygen— their density and high fat content means it will take hours before they become soggy.
