A little citrus is necessary unless the idea of brown guacamole is appealing. I prefer lime to lemon and not too much. Although, I've heard somewhere that if you place the avocado pit in with the guac, it will also prevent it from turning brown.

hardboiled egg? I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

It helps, but does not "cure" the problem. Somewhere between lemon joice and nothing at all.

A friend turned me on to adding REAL (not imitation) crab meat to the guac. Nice alternative!

All it does is delay the browning of any guac directly underneath the pit because it's not as exposed to air. You can achieve a much better effect with plastic wrap.

We've tried it with Guac out for the eating. There was a noticeable difference in browning, albeit not dramatic.

Maybe I should contact Mythbusters on this?

You could, but they'd be repeating efforts.

You'd LOVE my Avocado Icecream.

It's made with 1 pint of Fresh softened vanilla icecream (over here we use Streets Blue Ribbon - it's the creamiest !)
You then blend it with 1 avocado, and the juice of 2 limes, and 1/4 cup of sugar.

Let re-freeze and serve. It's Heaven on a stick (or in a cone).
