Ripe apples are easy to digest and can be eaten raw or cooked. The ingredient pectin is found in apples and is an indigestible fibre. It is able to stimulate digestion and contributes to a long-lasting feeling of satiety.
Pectin also binds toxins such as lead and mercury in the body, which benefits the digestive tract. In addition, applesauce helps as a quick rescue for constipation.
