1Surface browning is oxidation, not spoilage — scrape off brown layer, green underneath is fine
2Press plastic wrap directly on surface to slow browning
3Add extra lime juice to slow oxidation — the acid helps preserve color

5Never add sour cream or dairy to guac if you want it to last — dairy spoils faster
