Apples anti-browning tips

Do you like the idea of having sliced apples ready to eat in you fridge but do not like to use salt to prevent browning? Want to consider other ways besides rubbing salt to the apples?

There are few other ways to prevent browning. You can use honey, vinegar or lemon juice instead of salt. You can also put the sliced apples into ice water and put them in the fridge to slow down the oxidation process and for great tasting cool fruit. In addition, if you like apple taste on its own, you can scald them with hot water after slicing and transfer them in the fridge. This will cook the exposed outer layer and stop its oxidative nature. Also remember to store them in container with cool water so that it will retain its crispiness.

Enjoy your apples that doesn't brown.
