If you don't want the tartness of lemon juice, any lemon-lime soda will work - even diet.
Sprinkle a little lemon juice (fresh or bottled) on the fruit; then stir up well to distribute the juice. This will even keep banana from turning.
Does anyone know how to keep avocado from turning without using citrus? I like to take it to work but it's brown before I can eat it.
Lemons are great to keep apples and other fruits from turning brown but the avacado comes with it's own preservative. Just peel & half the avacado, throw out the skin but put the pit to the side.Prepare your avacado in a bowl by mashing, then add your mayo, seasoning, etc. When you've gotten it to your liking put the pit in the center of the bowl. Your guacamole should stay fresh and green!
If you really don`t care for the lemon juice flavor there is a product called "Fruit Fresh". You`ll find it at the grocery store with all the canning/preserving products. It works just great!
When making guacamole put the avocado seed back in the dish after you've finished preparing it. This will keep it a pretty green color.
This isn't about fruit, but just a side note for future reference. From what I hear, to keep peeled potatoes from getting brown you put them in a bowl of water and sprinkle a little sugar over top.
can anyone tell me WHY the seed keeps it from turning black? I am a believer of using the seed... LOL but today I was asked by a co-worker WHY it works? I said hmmmmmmmm let me google that! LOL and here I am!
Editor's Note: It works because there are enzymes in the seed that help keep avocados from darkening.

I've read this tip in a recipe book the other day. I must try it out first though. They say that you must pop an apple, banana or avocado quickly in boiling water before peeling it. The skin of the banana and avo might turn black, but the fruit will not be affected.
A few years ago I bought a product named "Tater White" which was used mostly by restaurants. It worked well on any fruits or vegetable and took only a small amount. One package lasted me for years, but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know where I can find it?
I have heard to put lemon juice or salt water on it.
If you don't want fruit to brown put them in water with a vitamin c tablet. It does work. I used it for a science experiment.
I heard lemon juice works
Keep a fruit such as an apple or pear in a fresh fruit container and put it in the fridge. Make sure fruit is fresh or use lemon juice.
Pineapple juice works just as well as lemon and tastes a lot better too.
Lemon juice
