Keep Apples from Browning with Vitamin C Powder
I knew about how you could use lemon juice to keep apples from browning, but I have since learned that you can use Vitamin C powder instead. I love this, since it always seemed like a tragic waste of a lemon for such a cosmetic reason.
I mix a teaspoon or two in a bowl of water and soak for 15 minutes. Then drain and blot dry and pack as usual for snacks.
Hi, can you suggest a brand/product to use or do you crush Vitamin C tablets and mix with water? I’d like to try this with canning. Thanks!

I use the Trader Joe’s version because it’s about $6 or $7 for a huge bottle that we wouldn’t otherwise finish.
