🚫 The most common mistake: cutting and leaving the avocado exposed to the air

The mistake is simple, but very common: you leave the avocado flesh exposed to the air without protecting it. This can happen when:

You cut the avocado and only use one half 🥄,

You store it in the refrigerator uncovered 🧊,

You leave it on the counter thinking you’ll “finish it later” ⏳,

Or even when you use it in a dish and serve it in the air without any protective acid or fat 🥗.
