Peeled and cut potatoes turn black very quickly!
This is because the starch comes into contact with the air and oxidizes.
As a result, it is no longer very appetizing, but know that you can eat them very well.
Yes, they remain edible and are not toxic at all!
Fortunately, there is a grandmother's trick to prevent potatoes from turning black after cutting them.
The trick is to put them in cold water . Watch:
- salad bowl
- cold water
1. Fill the bowl with cold water.
2. Dip the peeled potatoes in it.
3. Put everything in the fridge.
And There you go ! Your potatoes stay yellow and fresh without turning black :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
In addition, with this method, the peeled potatoes will keep for 2 to 3 days longer in the fridge.
You can even prepare them by cutting them into pieces and storing them in water. They will be impeccable even 3 days later.
To keep them even longer, add a few drops of white vinegar to the water in the bowl.
And it also works with lemon juice or a pinch of salt.
The potato contains starch which oxidizes due to the air.
That's why it turns black when peeled.
The water deprives the starch of contact with the air. Thus the potato will not turn black.
