Keeping the pit in a bowl of guacamole does not keep it from darkening. Keep oxygen from the surface does! So, if you want to make your guacamole several hours ahead of serving, cover the surface with plastic film or parchment paper.
A great tip to check if an avocado is ripe is by pulling out the stem. If the color underneath is green, it is ripe, if it is dark, the avocado is over ripe and likely black inside
