  • When cutting raw banana( plantain ), potato or eggplant, soak them in water to avoid discoloration.
  • Similarly, to prevent apples, bananas or peaches from browning, add lemon juice.
  • Cover the cut fruits or vegetables tightly with plastic food wrap or ziplock covers.
  • Cook the vegetables as soon as you cut them; the heat would stop them from oxidation.
