A woman on TikTok has revealed how she keeps her avocados green and ripe for days at a time, even when they've been cut open.
The ever-popular avocado is a common feature in a lot of people's kitchens because of how tasty and versatile they are. But one downside is how short their prime ripe window is - and how quickly they can go off once they're cut open.
Thankfully one woman on social media has revealed a handy tip for storing avocados that stop them from rotting so quickly, meaning you can enjoy them day after day.
Nicole, who posts under the username @kalejunkie on TikTok, often shares impressive food storage hacks that aim to reduce waste and make your produce last longer.
In one of her most recent videos, she tackles the age-old problem of avocado storage - and says the key is to store it with another popular vegetable.
She showed off half an avocado that was still "perfectly green" despite her having had it for three days.
The woman explained: "So here's your hack. Take your avocado and you put it in a container with an onion.
"The onion releases sulphur, which keeps your avocado green and prevents it from going brown."
Putting the lid on the contained, she added: "Now just store it in the fridge and you're good to go."
In the comments, people were curious to know if the avocado being stored so close to the onion affected its taste at all.
"Does the avocado taste/smells like onion?" someone asked, to which Nicole replied: "No not too much at all!"
"I can confirm it works been doing it for years - no onion taste," someone confirmed.
"I want to go and buy an avocado just to try this! This is a game-changer!" someone else said.
And a third said: "Thank you! I hate when an avocado goes bad."
