Properties of Apples / Health
They are rich in pectin (a good ally against cholesterol and diabetes), amino acids, acids, sugars, and fiber. They are popularly attributed with anti-inflammatory properties for the digestive system; thanks to pectin, they are both a mild laxative and astringent in cases of diarrhea or colitis, diuretic and purifying, even anti-catarrhal and hypotensive. Apple juice is frequently presented as a beauty product, capable of softening the complexion. They help burn fat.
Preparation / Storage
Keep them in plastic bags in the refrigerator after purchase to prevent further ripening. Apples can be stored this way for up to six weeks. However, check them often and remove any apple that starts to spoil.
Wash them well and rinse with water. Prepare apple dishes moments before serving to minimize browning (oxidation). Protect cut apples from oxidation by soaking them in a solution of one part citrus juice to three parts water.
