HPP does NOT stop browning at all. HPP is a food safety technology only and the HPP treated avocado will go brown within a few hours of opening the bag. HPP only works on pulp. It does NOT work on slices, diced, chunks. It is also a far more expensive technology to purchase and maintain.

Natavo™ gives 10 days shelf life (after opening the bag), it has a food safety step equal to HPP, it works on cut avocado pieces including slices, diced, chunks, pulp and smashed avocado.
