Really Works.
This Ball Fruit Fresh really does dramatically slow the browning due to oxidation of fruits and vegetables. My fresh guacamole stayed green for 3 days, as did my cut-up potatoes. I’ve successfully used it in the past to protect fruit salads containing apples and pears. I haven’t used it on bananas, so can’t speak to its efficacy on them.

Mother’s little helper
I love this stuff. My daughter loves apples but has trouble chewing up the skins. I peel them and slice them for her, but they quickly go brown. This product allows me to prepare apples in advance and give them to her throughout the day.
I know that I should be all anti-preservative. But I had purchased sliced apples at the store that were pre-cut and protected with a similar preservative and was thrilled with it. I was specifically looking for a citric acid product with no sulfides. I trust that this product won’t harm my girl. Feel free to bash my parenting anyway, I do the best I can, but I’m not expecting any mother of the year awards any time soon. (But if it makes you feel better, I sew her Halloween costumes by hand).
I usually peel and cut my apples, then put them in a zipper bag about a half cup of water with several shakes of this produce protector. I shake them quite well to make sure they’re completely covered, then drain out the water and push any extra air out out of the bag. This keeps the apples from oxidizing. I only use it for apples, but I’m sure it would have a similar effect on potatoes, guacamole or any other fresh produce product that reacts with the air.
The other good news about this product is that I don’t notice any extra flavor from it. Even though it’s basically sugar and Vitamin C, it doesn’t leave my apples tasting especially sweet or tangy.
I found an apple one morning that my daughter had dropped under the piano the day before. I’m happy to report that while the apple was kind of squishy, it was not brown. I did not taste that one – but it looked good!

Hard to find item FOUND!
This is a great product to use to keep fresh fruits yummy but I had not been able to purchase locally. Also good for freezing/canning.

Itâs great for keeping produce looking fresh
You really should change the picture to the current label. I ordered bottles from 2 different sources before I figured it out for myself & since itâs food it canât be returned!

Worked like a charm! Love it!
I had to core and slice 30lbs of Granny Smith’s for a marching band meal and wanted to prep the day before. Read online about best ways to keep the apples from browning and this was recommended as a good way to keep fruit from browning without changing the flavor. I decided to keep my fingers crossed and try this.
Wow! Worked like a charm! Mixed 4 tsp of powder with 6 tbsp of water in a small bowl, core and sliced 10 apples (two at a time) and placed in a gallon ziplock bag, sprinkling the Fruit Fresh mixture over the apples every time I added 2 apples, poured the remaining in at the end, sealed the bag and gently turned the bag so that the liquid coated all the apples on every side, then placed in refrigerator. The next day the apples were still white, firm and tasted exactly as they should! Everyone was amazed how well this worked and I was thrilled with how easy it was to use.
Love it and definitely recommend!

This works as described. I couldn’t can peaches and pears without it. It isn’t harmful in any way as it is powdered vitamin C.

Use this for childrenâs fruit in their packed lunches. Works brilliantly!

I can finally send cut apples in my kids’ lunches! This stuff is great! I’ve tried it with apples and pears, with no browning at all. This is a huge win when you have picky eaters!
