Apples

Did you know?

Apples contain no fat, sodium or cholesterol and are a good source of fiber.

One apple has five grams of fiber.

7,500 varieties of apples are grown throughout the world.

A bushel of apples weights about 42 pounds and will yield 20-24 quarts of applesauce.

Archaeologists have found evidence that humans have been enjoying apples since at least 6500 B.C

The old saying, “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away.” This saying comes from an old English adage, “To eat an apple before going to bed, will make the doctor beg his bread.”

Apples are delicious, easy to carry for snacking, low in calories, a natural mouth freshener, and they are still very inexpensive.
