For 1 piece, you will need:

1 1 avocado
Total weight: 250 grams

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.

Thanks for doing this, been wondering if it's at all true. Now I understand it's the lemon juice I've been using, not the stone, that has kept my guacamole fresh :)
