Not only is biting into a juicy, fresh apple a real delight, it is also a divine and healthy gift of nature. Eating apples regularly can help reduce the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Apples are rich in fibre, antioxidants, carbohydrates, the trace elements phosphorus, magnesium and potassium, and B vitamins, as well as vitamins C, A, and E. They may help lower cholesterol, body fat and are an excellent low-calorie appetite suppressant.
This gift of nature is even thirst-quenching, as it contains 85% water! But above all, apples are delicious, crunchy, juicy, fragrant and… they bring us together.
Indeed, apple picking parties on beautiful sunny fall weekends are one of Québec’s great traditions.
