Delicious, Nutritious and Easy Apple Recipes
I remember one signal of the approaching winter in my household growing up was in the fall when my parents would take the kids out apple picking. I didn't really appreciate the activity at the time, thinking the best part was the hay ride on the tractor and getting bored quickly once it was over. I also have a vague recollection of riding a horse...
Nonetheless, I think the experience was valuable. I strongly believe that kids need to see first-hand where their food is coming from and to learn to distinguish between nourishing foods grown in the soil versus questionable foods created in the lab. Those clips on Sesame Street showing where your food is coming from are great, but nothing beats actually doing it.
But I digress. What I'm getting at here is that apples are really good for you!
Apples are hands down my favourite fruit. And, quite recently, the Fuji has replaced the Macintosh as my absolute favourite variety, but really I love them all. Red or Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Gala; I'll take any. There are said to be a staggering 7500 varieties of apples grown throughout the world.
Many studies have found eating apples regularly helps to reduce the risks of strokes. Apples are a great way to increase the fibre in your diet as they contain both soluble and insoluble fibre. Apples are also high in an important mineral called boron, which is important for bone density and helps prevent osteoporosis.
And make sure to eat the peel, too. About two-thirds of the apple's fibre and almost all of the antioxidants are in the skin of the apple and almost 50% of the vitamin C content is located just below the peel. Apples are also rich in phytochemicals like phenoylics, carotenoids and flavonoids including quercitin, a heart disease and cancer fighter.
Apples make for a perfect snack. They're easily transportable, small and they taste fantastic. I find they help take the edge off of hunger when eaten a half hour or so before a meal. So whether you're cooking them or eating them raw, apples are a great addition to your diet.
