Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 This may be a stupid question (but then I believe there are no stupid questions), but how long does it take for an avocado to become brown? I am visiting my grandparents on Saturday. They have a house on a river in NJ and I was going to pack myself a nice little picnic to bring out there. I was browsing VegWeb for sandwich recipes and found some great sounding avocado ones. Should I make the sandwich in the morning before I go since avocados brown? I'd like to make something the night before so I can just pick up and leave as soon asI wake up Saturday AM...any good " pack and go " sandwiches with few ingredients? Jen ....

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I think avocados taste fine after they brown--is your concern about looks, or is the avocado unhealthful when it browns? I've never had any trouble....

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 My thought is the taste. They still taste ok? I'd really like to do more with avocados but the browning always concerns me. Jen ....

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 When I travel with an avocado sandwich, which I am about to go make, I put everything together except the avocado... and I bring along the intact fruit and a knife. What do you put in your avocado sandwichs? I like, on wheat bread, ripe avocado, spread, not sliced, cheese, thin sliced tomato, thin sliced onion, thin sliced mushrom, sprouts, and a few shakes of Spike. To keep from browning when I make guaquamole, I use ripe easily mushable avocado, chunky Pace picante sauce, lemon juice and the avocado pit, cut in half... until serving. Y'all do know that, and they make lovely tall leafy plants, to grow an avocado plant, there is no need to stick tooth picks into the pit to root it first. Just plant it... plant them. Don't give up; keep watering. :^) ===== My thought is the taste. They still taste ok? I'd really like to do more with avocados but the browning always concerns me. Jen " The cat did not respond.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Avocados brown almost instantly. You can sprinkle the slices with a bit of lemon juice, but the browning doesn't change the flavor or make it dangerous to eat, it just doesn't look pretty. You could bring the avocado with you with a knife and put the slices on when you're ready to eat. , Jen Lott <celestial726> wrote: > My thought is the taste. They still taste ok?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I love avocadoes!!! they do start to brown very quickly, though (within minutes of being cut) you can take the avocadoes with youand cut them there, and have everyone put them in their sandwiches, or as a side thing like a pickle or you can prepare all the ingredients and just have everyone choose what they want and put it together themselves! the only pack and go sandwiches I can think of are cheese and soymeat sandwiches or pb and j sandwiches with vegetables will definitely suffer flavor-wise, as the veggies will start to wilt, and the bread will get soggy hope you have a nice picnic!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I was flying yesterday and knew I wouldn't be able to find anything to eat around the airports and such that wasn't crazy expensive. I made a huge salad with Avacado on the top the night before (since we were leaving at 3 am) and the avacados were not brown at all! It was in an airtight container so that is probably the key! ~Mel Sports Rekindle the Rivalries. Sign up for Fantasy Football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
