How do Avocado Huggers work?Updated 2 days ago

It’s simple, satisfying, and designed with avocado lovers in mind.
Just hook the stem end of your avocado into the tip of the Hugger, then use your fingers to gently stretch the soft silicone up and around the edges. It takes only a moment, and you’ll feel it naturally “hug” into place—creating a secure, airtight seal that feels like a tiny kitchen victory.

Our patented design is the first and only solution of its kind—crafted specifically to fit and flex with real avocados in real kitchens. From the shape of the mold to the snugness of the seal, every curve and detail is purpose-built to help you save the other half without hassle or waste.

And yes, that includes the clever adjustable pit pocket. Whether your avocado half still has the seed or not, this little feature flips in or out to adapt instantly—no guesswork required.

But wait—does it actually slow browning?

Yes, it really does.
While no product can stop browning entirely (it’s part of the avocado’s natural journey from fruit to potential tree!), Food Huggers significantly slow that process by:

  • Blocking air exposure to the soft flesh

  • Helping your avocado retain moisture

  • Creating a sealed environment without suffocating or squishing the fruit

It’s the best way to protect your leftover avocado half hands down.


Storage Tips

  • Cut-side up or cut-side down? Doesn’t matter. Once it’s snug in the Avocado Hugger, you can tuck it in the fridge either way.

  • Not getting back to it soon? You can freeze your Huggered avocado! Pop the Avocado Hugger on and place it in the freezer to pause ripening and extend freshness.


This is avocado care made easy.
Designed from the real dimensions of 149 avocados across 8 countries.
Backed by a lifetime guarantee.
And it might just be your new favorite kitchen win.
