Wow great video - I love your personality! You're so sweet and kind! It's funny how you celebrated 100k subscribers and now you're over half a million!! That's so amazing =)!!!! I'd love to find out how to figure out the ripeness of an avocado and time it so that I know when they are ready to eat. Sometimes I've prematurely cut them and then they are super hard.

[@bcurvin1]

The water tip is SO GREAT! I've been looking for a solution to brown guacamole for years!

[@Downshiftology]

Isn't it awesome? I just wish I knew sooner!

[@devinbxtr1]

Trick* haha! And yes thank you for the video i just made the recipe and it’s delicious! 😋

[@ShaneLinkMarshall]

Wtf. Water? I’ve never really had issues with lime or lemon. But... leftover guac never does last too long

[@dal.890]

Another thing that works for me is just putting cling wrap directly on the guac. Or just eat it all before it gets too brown haha. A little is fine.

[@FBI-vc6ju]

Bru just flip it

[@asandak]

I am already in bed with a half open avocado so I got up and made this guacamole for tomorrow. its now sitting in the fridge with floating water. Thank you all the way from Cape Town

This is the best dip I have EVER eaten! My son, who is a great cook tried this and I am amazed how delicious it was! Thank you for sharing.

[@marisolaranda6582]

Hi! One tip from Lima Perú with the avocados, palta for us. When you open the avocado and is still in use, you put the seed in a small bowl with water till the top. You leave it in your kitchen all the time that the avocado is not finished. When the avocado is finished you can throw the seed and water. This is for the avocado not been black. Little tips from our grandmas through the years😉

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks so much Marisol! ❤️

[@olapppp26]

Your hacks are literally life-changing. I started watching your videos yesterday and I can’t stop till now

Recipe: - 3 Avacados - Lime - Half an onion - One tomato (remove the seeds) - Jalepeno - Two garlic cloves - A little bit of cilantro - Half a teaspoon of salt Her tip to prevent browning: Pour some water on top of the guac when refrigerating

[@notebookluvr]

The recipe says two Roma tomatoes and 3 avocados.

The most original/authentic recipe I've seen on KZbin. Good job. I've seen other videos where people add other stuff that doesn't belong there.

[@chewliemukbangs6628]

Everyone tells me that I make the best guacamole too! Your recipe is the exact way I make mine! But I did not know about the trick with the water! I LOVE that! I will use it the next time I make guacamole or use an avacado, thanks!!!

[@realascanb222]

What kind of pepper did she put in there?

[@warrenjansen7096]

Great video ma'am. That is exactly how I used to make guacamole years ago. You have inspired me to try it again. I always have used the old trick of leaving the pit in with the avocados or the guacamole to help prevent turning brown. It has worked absolutely zero times yet I still do it. What a stupid creature of habit. I will definitely try the water trick thank you so much.

[@bella-vj3uo]

when the avocado turns brown, it's just oxidation and the avocado is perfectly edible eitherway!

Im still not eating it lol

[@shteacher]

Water! I forgot avocado is basically a fat! Of course! That’s brilliant.

[@Downshiftology]

I know! I just wish I knew of it sooner as well. :)

[@royalt3690]

Ya, that was cool!

[@akroia1986]

Madam, its oxidation.

[@quelorepario]

@@akroia1986 yeah, the water layer prevents oxygen ever reaching the avocado, but because the avocado has a very high in fat content so it will be hydrophobic and it wouldn't "water down" the avocado/guacamole. The same protective layer could be done with oils, but it would be impossible to get rid of it effectively affecting the food, so the water is an elegant and simple solution.

[@gilly4881]

Lemon juice works too.

[@sharonahamilton]

Brilliant water tip! Thank you!

Très bonne idée l'utilisation de la grande cuillère pour vider l'avocat. Excellent le coup de couteau pour enlever le noyau. Et excellent l'utilisation d'une GRANDE fourchette pour broyer l'avocat. Thank you very much ❤

[@isaz597]

Great recipe To make avocado easier to mash after removing seed cut into the flesh in a cross pattern then scoop it out. Leaving smaller cubes that a fork works through in no time Also you can just leave the seed in the avocado half you aren't using or put the seed into the guacamole this will prevent it going brown. Finally you can use grown cumin & black pepper for extra flavour plus spring onions instead of or with less of the onion.

[@Downshiftology]

Great tip on slicing the avocado first before mashing! But unfortunately leaving the seed in the avocado is a bit of an old wives tale. It's been debunked by science that it does nothing to prevent it from going brown. Instead you need a way to prevent oxidization, which the water does (or plastic wrap on top, but I prefer the water). :)

[@isaz597]

Downshiftology thanks for reply. Honestly I've used the seed in & without over night with the guacamole actually not turning brown. You could be right I have lid which comes my storage container. But definitely without a doubt the avocado half I'm not using if left with seed in doesn't spoil for at least 24 hours.

[@alexisbartsch7572]
