Avocado pulp discolors very fast when exposed to air. Use the peeled fruit immediately or cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate. You can also freeze avocado pulp. Mash the pulp with two tablespoons of lime juice and place in an airtight container with a maximum of 1 inch headspace. Use refrigerated avocado pulp within one or two days. Frozen it will last up to six months.
