The Great Avocado Debate: How Do You Keep Avocados Fresh?

Is saving avocados a national pastime? They’re versatile, delicious, and packed with healthy fats. But if there’s one universal truth about avocados, it’s this: keeping them fresh can feel like a battle. From trying every “hack” under the sun (hello, lemon juice and olive oil) to simply eating the entire avocado at once, people have come up with all kinds of methods to prevent browning.

Every avocado lover knows: explaining how to keep them fresh feels like a rite of passage. With Abeego, we’re saving you the ‘avo-splaining’—just wrap, store, and enjoy!

Why Traditional Storage Hacks Often Fall Short

Traditional methods like plastic wrap or airtight containers create a sealed environment that actually suffocates avocados. Instead of keeping them fresh, these methods often speed up browning by trapping in moisture and cutting off oxygen—two things avocados need in moderation.

Toni Desrosiers, founder of Abeego and an expert in food preservation, explains:

“Fresh food is alive, and that means it needs to breathe. Abeego provides just the right amount of airflow to keep avocados fresh without sealing them off entirely.”

With Abeego, avocados stay fresh for longer because the beeswax wrap allows them to breathe naturally, maintaining their perfect balance of moisture and air. Abeego is like a skincare routine for your avocado.

How to Store Avocados the Abeego Way

To give your avocados their best chance at lasting freshness, follow these simple steps:

1. Cut and Prepare
   Once you’ve cut your avocado, leave the pit in one half. The pit helps keep the exposed flesh from browning too quickly.
2. Wrap with Abeego
   Take your Abeego wrap (the small size works great for avocados) and gently cover the exposed side of the avocado. The wrap will mold around the shape of the fruit, creating a breathable yet protective layer.
3. Place in the Crisper
   Store the wrapped avocado in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator, pit side up. This environment has ideal humidity and airflow for keeping produce fresh.

And that’s it! Your avocado should stay fresh, green, and delicious for much longer than it would with plastic or other wraps.

But Why Does Abeego Work So Well? A Closer Look

Unlike plastic wraps, Abeego is made with beeswax, tree resin, and jojoba oil, all applied to a natural cotton fabric. This combination allows Abeego to mimic nature’s peel by keeping out excess air and moisture while allowing the food to breathe.

Understanding the Avocado’s Natural Healing Process

When wrapped in Abeego, you may notice that an avocado’s flesh sometimes develops tiny brown specks. Unlike the mushy browning you see with plastic wrap, this natural browning is harmless and even indicates that the fruit is ‘healing’ itself.

Toni Desrosiers notes, “In airtight plastic, avocados can’t breathe, and that causes them to turn dark and mushy. Abeego allows for slight natural browning, which is a healthy sign that the fruit is alive!”

Common Avocado Storage Mistakes (And How Abeego Solves Them)

• Mistake #1: Storing in airtight plastic
  Airtight containers and wraps may seem convenient, but they restrict airflow. Abeego’s breathable design helps keep the delicate balance of oxygen that avocados need.
• Mistake #2: Leaving avocados out on the counter
  Once cut, avocados should be refrigerated. Abeego is the perfect wrap for the job, keeping your fruit fresh in the fridge.
• Mistake #3: Wrapping in paper towels
  This method dries out the avocado. Abeego’s beeswax coating retains moisture without creating a soggy mess.
