Frequently Asked Questions
Should I eat the apple skin?
Yes! Apple skin contains most of the fiber and up to half the vitamin C. The skin also contains concentrated polyphenols and antioxidants. Just wash thoroughly before eating.
What's the healthiest apple variety?
While all apples are nutritious, red-skinned varieties like Red Delicious and Fuji tend to have higher antioxidant levels. Granny Smith apples are lower in sugar. Choose based on your taste preference and intended use.
Why do apples turn brown when cut?
Enzymatic browning occurs when the flesh is exposed to oxygen. This is harmless but can be prevented by coating cut apples with lemon juice, which contains citric acid that inhibits the enzyme.
