According to those who have tried it, the trick can keep avocados good for up to a month.<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s the problem?<\/p>\n<p>Well, unfortunately, avocado skin can carry bacteria and germs, including listeria. The FDA warned that human pathogens could be transferred into the water. Then, when submerged, those bacteria could continue to thrive. Over time, they could even sink through the avocado\u2019s skin and into the flesh. This means disinfecting and cleaning them after storage won\u2019t help protect you.<\/p>\n<p>The issue with the hack is similar to the reasons why you should actually be washing your avocados before eating them. If bacteria is on the fruit\u2019s skin, it could come in contact with the flesh when being chopped.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid exposure, the FDA recommends washing the fruit with lukewarm water and a fruit scrubbing brush before consumption.<\/p>\n<p>While there are legitimate ways to prolong the life of your avocado, unfortunately, this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> hack has been debunked and is best avoided.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '267914477473431');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
