Boots apple slices

[ponygirl]

Why do these not go brown? If I slice an apple, it goes brown in minutes, but the Boots ones don't, even when the packet's been opened. And the back of the packet just says 100% apple. How do they do it???

irradiated?

Is it because they are seeled? Or have them been rubbed with somethiing like lemon juice to stop it?

Wouldn't they have to say on the packet if they'd dones something with lemon juice? It would be an ingredient. Don't like the sound of irradiated!

They only irradiate them with UV light, I don't (IMHO) think it's so bad. there's a holistic health food perspective that reckons all food is "alive" to some extent, & you're zapping goodness out when it's irradiated. You'd have to read up on it to decide 4 yourself.

Have they been dehydrated and rehydrated?

I may be talking out of my rear end here but (trying to remember something she read ages ago) isn't there a proces where they apply heat, instead of light to the fruit, to sort of 'seal' it??

So, nothing I can do at home then?!
