You know how the saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Well, apples are so nutritious that we think it deserves that reputation! And the great thing is, there are so many types to choose from that there’s bound to be one you’ll like. The apples that are commonly found in our supermarkets include the Red Delicious (mildly sweet, crunchy and great in salads), Fuji (super-sweet and crisp), Granny Smith (green in colour, tart and great for baking) and Gala (sweet, aromatic and perfect as a snack). Apples contain flavonoids (which reduce the risk of certain cancers), antioxidants (helps lower the risk of respiratory diseases) and dietary fiber (aids digestion and promotes weight loss). And for those watching their weight, apples have almost zero fat and cholesterol!
