Ask Mary; why does fennel turn brown? How do I prevent it?


Dear Mary, why does fennel turn brown? How do I prevent it?

Answer: Fennel, like apples, browns because of oxidation. The best way to prevent oxidation is by completely submerging the fennel in a solution made up of 3 parts water and 1 part acid.

Good Luck!
