The avocado stone stops the flesh turning brown

1 piece
1 IngredientLast modified on: July 25th 2017
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.

You should not put an aluminum container directly in the oven
If you put an aluminum container, containing food to be cooked or reheated, in your oven directly on the shelf, the shiny base will reflect a large part of the oven heat (like a mirror). This means that the food will take much longer to cook or heat through than usual. February 21th 2011511 K 92.5 1 min.
