7 Smart tips to eat healthy on a budget
#2 Coat cut fruits and avocados in lemon or lime juice.
You’ve seen it happen; it’s been three minutes since you cut fruit and it’s already turning brown.
But there’s a fix!
The citric acid found in lemons and limes inactivates the enzymes that cause foods to brown due to oxygen exposure. Just squirt or brush lemon or lime juice, whichever you like better, on sliced fruits or avocados before storing them in an air-tight container.
Of course, you don’t want to cut fruit until you’re ready to eat it, but this comes in handy for when you only want half an apple or avocado, but don’t want to waste the rest.
