yay thanks for the tip
nice thank ya
Great information…Thanks!
slightly salty water works great too
@tally24th You are right! My mother uses a bowl of water and maybe 1 teaspoon of salt to soak peeled and cut fruit for a minute or so. The cut fruits (esp. apples) stay pretty for hours. It’s great way to prepare your kid’s lunch box and a party tray, too.
This works for eggplant too. I dehydrate my eggplant when I get a big harvest from the garden and squeezing lime juice over them before placing them in the dehydrator makes they dry at their original color.
I thought this tip would be too dumb to share with you guys since its a very very common one!! Now I feel dumb”er” :’(
@Ossopova
No tip is ever “dumb” because you’d be surprised how many people never thought of your “common” idea.
@kaerunohime
Great idea! We’ll try that.
@tally24th
Thanks for sharing!

can i use lime??
This really works. The citric acid prevents the oxidation from occurring.
Hi ladies!
I have some granular citric acid on hand that I bought at the Indian grocery store for use in a chaat recipe a while back, and I wonder if I could sprinkle some of that on, so that the fruit will be preserved, but without a particularly lemony taste?
Pineapple juice and other citruses work well too.
You can also..
-Dissolve 2 or 3 crushed Vitamin C pill in a bowl of cold water the night before or an hour before in a fridge.
-Keep ripe apples and any parts of a fruit that seem to be bad or squashed, away from other fruits
Do these lovely girls ever change sides? is Anuja always on Hetal’s right?
@pamdento
Yes, any citrus will work.
@honeybear64
You can dissolve the citric acid in some water and use it otherwise it will make your fruit really really sour.
I thought it had to do with the acid in the lemon juice that keeps the apple from oxidizing… not the sourness.. hmm?
@DiamondApple100
Well, theoretically it is the citric acid that keeps the fruit from oxidizing however green apples tend to stay fresh looking for a whole day without any help.
and how do you keep a lemon fresh?
awesome tip! will try
Isn’t this common knowledge for everyone? I do this all the time for apples… it also gives a nice little hint of sour and freshness to boot.
Salt Works well too.
