Banana Slices Always Turn Brown? Try These Easy Fixes!
Splash some soda water or club soda over your banana slices. It keeps them fresh without changing the flavor—just don’t use tonic water, it’s way too strong.
Lightly coat the slices with coconut, sunflower, or grapeseed oil. This not only keeps them from browning but also helps preserve their flavor.
Drizzle lemon, lime, or pineapple juice over the bananas. The acidity forms a barrier and gives a nice tang. If you want a milder taste, dilute the juice with water, but don’t overdo it or it won’t work as well.
Sprinkle a little citric acid powder (or a fruit preservation powder) into water, soak the slices for a few minutes, then drain. Super easy and barely changes the taste.
If your bananas are already brown, soak them in pineapple or grapefruit juice for 10-15 minutes. They won’t be perfect, but they’ll look a lot better.
I always keep a bottle of lemon juice handy for this—works every time for fruit salads and desserts!
