Not only are apples good for you but they taste great too. What's more, there's an apple out there just for you... |
Ever picked an apple fresh from a tree? It's a magical experience! Apples are the most widely cultivated fruit in the world – and no wonder: they're delicious, wholesome and wonderfully versatile.
Full of goodness and juiciness, the apple provides only 52 calories per 100g; it has a high fruit sugar content and is a good source of iron, potassium and vitamins.
Apples are a fruit bowl basic, a lunch-box essential, the ultimate filling for pies and tarts and a main ingredient for most fruit juices. They're also popular in salads or as accompaniments to pork dishes – and, of course, baked apples make a dreamy winter dessert!
Leading the crop in popularity is the Granny Smith; bright green, glossy and with a slightly greasy skin, this is a favourite for cooking.
The Gala has a red skin, with sweetness and crispiness that make it an excellent eating apple.
The Golden Delicious is an all-rounder apple. This pale green beauty is lovely to eat, perfect to cook with, the belle of the fruit bowl and the queen of the apple tart!
The Fuji is relatively new on our shelves. Its dull red colouring belies its crisp, sweet, juicy flesh that makes it a real pleasure to eat. The Fuji is also good for cooking and stewing.
