Looking for something simpler than the buy above? Or perhaps a way to keep your half cut avocado fresh in the fridge? Well... how adorable is the Avocado Keeper Storage by APMAX? It looks like a little sandal for your avocado. With a colour-preserving pit, this avocado saver can reduce exposure surface and prevent the unused half from browning, so it can keep your leftover avocado fresh for a longer time (the straps enable it to lock out the air, slowing the oxidation process). Clever.
