Apples turn brown and go to waste and there’s nothing we can do about it

APPLES TURN BROWN WHEN SLICED AND BRUISE EASILY, WHICH RESULTS IN A LOT OF TOSSED APPLES. IN FACT, ABOUT 1,225,000 APPLES ARE WASTED EVERYDAY IN CANADA[9] . NEW GENETICALLY MODIFIED NON-BROWNING APPLES ARE HELPING TO TAKE A BITE OUT OF FOOD WASTE.
Sliced apples are an awesome snack and a great addition to salads. But no one wants them when they’re brown. The Arctic® Apple was developed using genetic engineering[10]. Because these apples don’t release an enzyme [called polyphenol oxidase (PPO)] they resist browning and stay fresh up to 28 days after slicing[11]. This can result in major reductions in food waste for both food service providers and home cooks, which is great news for both our wallets and the planet.
