Nutrition Tip
Considered one of the most popular fruits in the world, apples have been around since 6,500 B.C. and date back to present day Kazakhstan. Today, there are 7,500 varieties worldwide, and are most commonly consumed raw as a delicious and filling go-to snack. Try making homemade low-sugar apple sauce, bake them with cinnamon, or add to sauces, salads, smoothies, and soups. As an excellent source of fiber, vitamins B6 and C, riboflavin, thiamine, potassium, and antioxidants, this nutrient-dense fruit promotes digestive health, and supports heart health.
