Apples are low in calories, around 70-90 per apple, and contain no fat or cholesterol. Complex carbohydrates in apples provide a quick source of energy. They have a low- sodium, high potassium rate. Because apples are rich in fiber, they help make the stomach feel full, a benefit for those watching their weight. Apples are a good source of soluble fiber, which has been shown to reduce cholesterol levels.
Apples are a perfect snack food.
Besides snacking, there are dozens of ways to enjoy apples. Apples can be frozen, canned, dried, or used in a variety of recipes from appetizers to desserts. Choose quality apples that have good color and aroma. Pick by holding the apple firmly in your hand and twisting slightly. Be careful not to pull the stem out of the apple or it could rot prematurely.
