How can I stop the cut surface of half an apple from discolouring?

Question

The apple has to be transported as part of school lunch.

Answer 1

Dip it in a weak salt solution (it actually IMPROVES the flavor though it sounds nasty - you don't really taste the salt). Lemon juice will also stop it discoloring. Then wrap in clingfilm.

Answer 2

Put some lemon juice on the cut side. Fresh is best, but use the kind that comes in a squeeze bottle if you don't have lemons. Cover it with plastic wrap (as tightly as you can) and stick it in a ziplock bag. It may still turn just a little dark, but it won't be bad.

Answer 3

Try rubbing a little fresh lemon juice over it and then putting it in an air-tight container. Lemon juice also stops bananas from turning brown !

Answer 4

Rub it with a little lemon juice then cover it with cling film.

Alternatively just give a whole, smaller, apple and the problem goes away

Answer 5

No the place in the Bible does it say what the fruit became into. I have no thought why such a lot of people communicate with it as being an apple. you need to get into the technical definition of "fruit;" and do a learn on that. The forbidden fruit might have been hashish for all all of us understand.

Answer 6
