One medium-sized apple (approximately 5 ounces in weight) has just 81 calories, making you feel fuller than equivalent carbohydrate calories from apple juice or apple puree. Its nutrients are packed with 159 mg of potassium, 3.9 mcg of folic acid, 7.9 mg of vitamin C, and 9.6 mg of calcium with trace amounts of B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and zinc.
A single apple contains no fat or cholesterol, and provides more fibre than a serving of oatmeal. So, if you're thinking of skipping meals, try munching apples. You can rest assured you're getting a healthy
dose of essential nutrients.
Unlike other fruits, the best place to store apples is the refrigerator. Also, sliced or cut apples stay white longer if dropped in a bowl of water containing two tablespoons of lemon juice.
Unpeeled apples provide their most plentiful nutrients just under the skin, so be sure to eat the apple with its skin on. As such, apples can be used in a variety of jams, sauces, cakes and pies, but if you're creative enough, you could marry this wonderful fruit with many more foods. And, you won't regret it.
So, go fast, and take a bite!
