Apple

Grown in temperate zones worldwide (U.S., China, Europe). Harvested late summer through fall; stored apples available year-round. Great for snacking, salads, sauces, and baking.

Nutritional Information

Provides fiber (~4 g/medium, especially in skin) and vitamin C; mostly water and carbohydrates.

Storage Tips

Store in the fridge crisper for longest life; keep away from leafy greens (ethylene gas speeds wilting).

Shopping Tips

Choose firm apples with smooth skin and no soft spots; heavier apples are often juicier; pick variety based on use (tart for baking, sweet for snacking).
