If you slice apples and put them on a plate, after a while you will notice that the fruit begins to turn black. This is because the fruit is oxidizing. But this phenomenon can be prevented if you use the following life hacks.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you what to do with apples to prevent them from darkening quickly. You only need a few simple methods.

Soak apples in salted water

Pour water into a separate container. Add salt to it. Place the apples in it. Wait for ten minutes. Then take them out and put them in a bag. But there is one caveat - if you want to eat an apple, you need to wash it beforehand.

Try rubbing apples with lemon

To prevent apples from turning black, you can rub them with lemon. But you should also rinse them before eating them so that they are not too acidic.

Use a rubber band

You can use an elastic band to seal the slices you've already cut. You will return the apple to its original appearance, it will not turn black, and you will not have to wash it either.

Try the method with honey

Honey is a great way to prevent apples from darkening. Dissolve the product in water (1 to 2). Put apples in this water. Wait only 1-5 minutes.

The last resort is plain water

If you don't have time to use the previous life hacks, you can pour plain water over the apples. This method will save the apples from darkening at least a little.
