how do you keep a peeled apple from going brown in a school lunch box?

Answer 1

I use ascorbic acid every day (which is powdered Vitamin C). I use s little in water to soak the apples in and it increases the vitamin content. You can also use lemon juice and water or lemonade. Any citrus juic e will stop apples from turning brown.

Answer 2

the only thing i know about keeping peeled apples from going brown is to sprinkle lemon juice on them. and i don't know how long that lasts but you could give it a try. i've used that method at parties when the apples were going to be sitting out on the table for awhile; seemed to work ok.

Answer 3

you peel the apple before you put it in the box ?
Why do you do such a stupid thing ? Wash the apple and let your kid eat it peel and all, The vitamines are in the peel, and the core are the little brooms thats keep your tummy going !
kids are too spoiled today, and have therefore no resistance !

Answer 4
