The avocado stone stops the flesh turning brown
Tradition says: "if you leave the avocado stone in a purée or guacamole you have just made, it will not turn brown".

Step by step recipe
Stage 1
A puree is made with an avocado cut into pieces and blended.
Stage 2
The purée is divided between 3 ramekins: on the right plain, in the centre with the stone, and on the left with a pinch of vitamin C.
Stage 3
A few hours later...
Stage 4
Unfortunately the stone has had no effect.
Stage 5
The vitamin C, on the other hand, has acted as an effective anti-oxidant.
Conclusion
False: So there is no point leaving the avocado stone in the prepared dish. Vitamin C, and so the lemon juice added to guacamole is much more effective.
