Guacamole (deli)
Rich and creamy with a bright lime tang and a mild kick from onion, chile, or cilantro.
Lens analyzedDeli guacamole is a pre-made avocado dip, mashed and seasoned with lime, salt, and typically onion, cilantro, or chile, sold in a tub ready to scoop. It saves the step of mashing and seasoning avocados yourself, though the texture is often smoother and more uniform than homemade.
Where it comes from
Guacamole is rooted in Mexican cooking going back to Aztec preparations of mashed avocado, and prepackaged deli versions became widely available as avocados grew into a mainstream North American grocery staple.
Buying it
Check the tub for a bright green color rather than a browned or grayish surface, which signals oxidation. A 'best by' date close to the purchase date usually means fresher avocado underneath.
Storing it
Press the lid down firmly against the surface to limit air exposure, refrigerate it, and eat it within about three days. Browning on top is mostly cosmetic; scrape it off if the guacamole underneath still smells and looks fine.
Keeps about 3 days in the fridge.
