Avocados are considered a tasty snack for many foodies. Whether you put layer the green goodness on a slice of toast for breakfast or chuck slices into a salad - they're a delicious addition to all sorts of dishes.
The main downfall to the much-loved fruit is how quickly it turns sour, as they tend to only last a few days after leaving the supermarket shelves. It's not the cheapest ingredient either, making it devastating to find your avocado has gone brown and mushy.
Thankfully, people have discovered a nifty hack for prolonging avocado freshness and it's 'changed [their] life'. Taking to popular video-streaming service TikTok, avocado fan Kat Gold has 'shocked' herself after demonstrating a method that makes them 'last forever'.
Kat - who boasts more than 510,000 followers on TikTok account @kat.goldd - claims her mum is the one who showed her the game-changing hack.
She explained: "My mum saw this thing that said that says if you leave an avocado in a jar of cold water it'll last for forever. It won't go bad for forever!
"This has been in my fridge since last Thursday so it's been a week."
After taking out the avocado from the jar of water, she said: "It feels soft! It wasn't soft when I got it - it was hard."
Upon cutting open the fruit to discover it in perfect condition, Kat exclaimed: "No f***ing way! That's crazy! Holy s***.
"Well anyway, if you want to keep your avocados lasting longer then that's how you do it."
Since sharing, the woman's video has raked in over 450 comments to date - where several TikTokers admitted their shock.
Taking to the comment section, one person claimed: "You just changed my life."
Meanwhile, someone else said: "I tried this last week with all my avocados and it's a game changer!!"
A third added: "If you only eat half you can sit the other half in water in the fridge till your ready for it."
