Mum shares simple trick to stop apple slices from turning brown in lunchboxes without changing the taste
A mum has revealed her trick to keeping apple slices fresh all day - and it doesn't change the way they taste.
The mum simply soaks her kids' apple slices in apple juice for a few minutes before popping them in a zip lock bag.
'Make sure juice gets on both sides of the apple slices,' she said.

What is it with Mothers cutting up fruit for their kids? I saw an article the other day where the Mother had chopped grapes in HALF in the kids lunchbox!!! What is wrong with packing a whole apple and a bunch of grapes?
Found it:
A concerned mother whose son is being bullied over his school lunches has been met with some witheringly blunt answers after asking for help on social media.
The woman, who is believed to live in the US, sought advice in a Facebook parenting group when her 10-year-old son admitted his classmates were 'making fun' of his packed lunch.
A photo of his lunchbox uploaded to the group shows a plastic container filled with grapes, a peach and two hardboiled eggs in cupcake cases, all chopped into halves.
The mother said she was baffled about why her son was being bullied, writing: 'Is there something I can do to help this? He seems to be picked on a lot.'

At 10 he should be able to eat a whole grape.

The plastic use alone makes me want to punch her in the face (metaphorically).

Biting into a whole apple isn't that difficult either. LOL What Mother has time to cut up grapes for her 10-year old's lunchbox? What happened to the Vegemite sambo and a piece of fruit for lunch?

Why? All that chopped up stuff wouldn't last long in a brown paper bag.
