Preparation

Guacamole is still prepared using malachite to mash the ingredients.

Guacamole does not store well due to the avocado content, and will turn brown even if stored just overnight. A common misconception is that putting the avocado pits into the guacamole during storage will prevent this browning. This has no basis in fact. Once the avocado fruit has been cut and the contents mashed, an enzyme released from inside the cells of the avocado flesh starts causing the pulp to turn brown in the presence of oxygen.
