Can this be used to keep guacamole from oxidizing and turning brown?Could it be added to gummy bears to create sour gummy bears ?

It can be used to help hold the food from turning brown but be careful not to put in too much or it will flavor it too much. I put some in my green beens when I canned them and it did a good job but I don't care for the taste, everyone else in the family could not taste it so I guess it is just me. It would be great for gummy bears as it would give them just the taste you want.

I have not tried either. I would think it would work as it is essentially the same thing as fruit fresh (used for canning). I squirt lime juice on avocado for that purpose.

A trick a Colombian friend of mine grew up doing to keep guac from turning brown is to leave the avocado pits in the bowl with the guac. Just put one in the center. I don't know how or why it works but it does.

I don't, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for that. Just make sure you don't get it to cold and freeze the fruit.

I've also heard that iron doesn't work in gummies. Have you seen an iron gummy? I think the iron changes the color/flavor of the gummy and would make it unappealing. Looks like people will have to stick to tablets of iron. No doubt it is important!

Hi, I asked the same question and never got an answer! I've been using these packets in brown sugar to keep it from turning rock-hard and it's been working great. I used about 6 of them in a 5 gallon plastic container with a screw type lid and the sugar stays nice and soft. When storing the remaining packets, I put them in a canning jar and screw the lid on tight. That will keep them from losing their "strength". Hope this helps! Dominick

I use this to make jams and jellies with very low sugar. I have never had a problem cooking it, or using it to add to a batch that is too large for a traditional box. Use low sugar boxes with this if you mix. I try to get the same brand as well, for consistency.

The chocolate will not harden it will be gooey. It tastes great and will be good if you are just having your guests dip it and eat it right away.

I haven't tried the disc but as long as the material is the same and the same or similar prep before using I would think they would be fine. I can say though that the Original Brown Sugar Bear works very well at keeping your brown sugar fresh much longer. Also found it works well with raisins.

No, a squeeze of lemon or cap full of white vinegar will do that. Honestly, I don't recommend this molcajete for guacamole at all because it is too porous. Better to use stainless steel or a regular dish and just use a fork to mash the avocado.This is best for grinding garlic, chilis, & seeds (like cumin). Good luck!

No a molcajete will not keep an avocado from turning color. One thing that works is to microwave your avocado for 20 seconds before cutting into the skin. That is a tip I learned from Chef Claudia in Mexico.

Honestly, as toxic as this stuff is, I wouldn't place it in any freezer with other food under any circumstances. I used one package with the smallest number of gummy worms in it to eradicate a group of moles and this stuff worked like a charm. Putting the whole package into the area was the ticket. A mole expert I hired previously used just a few worms and the moles weren't eradicated.

The bear keeps moister in the sugar so it will not get hard. If you put moister in powder it will stick together.

Hi jellybean girl, You may have to check with the Swerve people. I use the granular but I do have a few recipes that call for the confection. So far, everything I've made has been a great success. Hope you enjoy this product!!

If the sugar was not hard when it was put in the jar with the ceramic bear then it should NOT have hardened that quickly. Brown sugar hardens when the moisture in the sugar evaporates. That is what the ceramic bear is supposed to help slow down. Read up on line at http://www.dominosugar.com/baking-tips-how-tos/usage-faqs

It is possible that it could work but I don't think this was intended for that application. It comes out like a spray paint and sticks to whatever it hits. Once dry, it leaves a coat of graphite. I use it as a mold release. It is possible that this would get into the lock pins and possibly gum smaller parts up as it dries. Graphite for locks is generally applied in dry (like a powder) form. I will check the can tonight and see if it is recommended for that use.

Yes, I have, and it works just fine. However, it makes a much smaller amount than you could make in a larger prep machine. I also made guacamole, using 2 avocados, and it worked okay, but the guacamole had some small lumps at the end, which was fine with me, because I like a less smooth texture for guacamole. By the way, a small can of garbanzo beans works well, or about a cup of fresh beans. Hope this helps.

I tried to use this product for jelly...kind of "winging it", but it wouldn't set. I think you'd need the traditional pectin, the kind you boil down. Best of luck.
