Although the taste of apples does not change when browned, many people still throw them away – unintentionally creating a huge waste of food.
Surprised by 5 Tips to Help Prevent Apples from Turning Brown
1. Use Lemon Juice
After peeling and cutting the apples into pieces, immediately place them in a bowl of cold water with a few tablespoons of lemon juice. Soak for about 2–3 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
Why it works:
Lemons contain citric acid, which prevents the apple’s enzymes from reacting with oxygen—stopping the browning process.
2. Use Salt Water
Cut the apples into pieces and soak them in a bowl of diluted salt water for 5–10 minutes. Alternatively, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of salt directly over the apple slices.
Why it works:
Salt helps break down enzymes responsible for oxidation. Just use a small amount to avoid affecting the apple’s natural sweetness.
3. Use Carbonated Water
