Consumer tips
Research has shown that antioxidants in Apples can slow the growth of cancer cells as they remove free radicals from the body. In addition, they can protect cells in the pancreas, which can reduce the chances of type 2 diabetes.
They can also help lower cholesterol, as well as protect DNA from oxidative damage, which is one of the leading causes of cancer.
Apples should be stored in the coldest drawer of the refrigerator, in a plastic bag with holes, or covered with a damp paper towel. Avoid storing other vegetables or fruits in the same drawer, as they will decompose faster.
Fruit Fact!
There are 3 types of apples – red, yellow and green. Each type has a different shape, color and texture, while its taste can be sweet or sour.
