There is no doubt that the best cooking hacks are on the social network TikTok, and once again, a video that has gone viral about how to prevent an avocado from oxidizing proves it.

This short tutorial promises to keep your leftover piece of avocado perfectly green, and the trick requires nothing more than water, a container, and half of this delicious fruit often confused with a vegetable.

The TikTok user who showed us this magic is @KMag1 with a couple of videos, the first one (watch it here) published in early July, which has now been shared about 80 thousand times.



If you no longer want your avocado to oxidize, here's what you need to do: instead of covering the cut avocado with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, place it in a clean container with a little water, so that the exposed part is submerged. It is not necessary to submerge it completely, just the part that is exposed. Let the avocado rest in the container for as long as needed, up to 24 hours.

The second video (watch it here) is a follow-up to the original avocado storage demonstration, where @KMag1 shows how she removes the fruit from the container after 24 hours.

All she does is gently wipe the surface of the avocado to remove the water, and that’s it, a perfectly green half is revealed ready to eat.

On TikTok, there is definitely no shortage of recipes, kittens cooking, and cooking hacks to learn from these brief and incredible videos.
