Apples make it easy.</p> <h2>1. Le crunch apples come in many varieties  </h2> <p>Think Fuji, Gala, Golden Delicious, Braeburn, Granny Smith &amp; Red Delicious! They come in a range of interesting flavours not available in most other fruits and vegetables.</p> <h2>2. Apples are Mother Nature's original fast foods  </h2> <p>Eat them fresh, in slices or made into a sauce or juice.</p> <h2>3. Apples are nutritious  </h2> <ul> <li>The apple has obviously numerous nutritional benefits. It is able to provide significant supplements of vitamins, minerals, and various trace-elements to our diet.</li> <li>Appetite suppressant fruit, it sates the appetite without providing too many calories.</li> <li>Its diuretic effect is well-known. It is linked to its wealth in water and potassium, its low grade of sodium, and the presence of sorbitol.</li> <li>Thanks its wealth in fibres, it acts in a particularly interesting manner on the intestinal function: its pectin has a regulatory effect on the digestive system.</li> <li>Above all, it has been highlighted that the regular consumption of apples (2 to 3 each day) can help to normalize an excessive cholesterol level, and to reduce high sugar levels. Therefore, this fruit plays a beneficial role in nutritional balance and prevention.</li> </ul> <h2>4. Main features:</h2> <p>With its diversified and well-balanced composition, the apple can almost be considered an ideal fruit.</p> <ul> <li>Moderately energizing, it provides 54 Kcalories per 100 g, which equals 80 to 95 Kcalories for an average apple.</li> <li>Carbohydrates: 9 to 15 g per 100 g. They are the main source of calories. These carbohydrates give the apple its sweetness, flavour balanced by a tangy touch provided by organic acids.</li> <li>Proteins and fats: 0.3 g per 100 g. These compounds are less voluminous, and therefore play an insignificant role in the energy amount of an apple.</li> <li>Thirst-quenching and refreshing fruit, the apple contains more than 84% of water, in which are dissolved numerous minerals and trace elements, essential to the cellular metabolism. </li> <li>Its vitamin composition is diversified, with a wide range of vitamin B, vitamin E (0.5 mg per 100 g) and provitamin A, and vitamin C, on average 5 mg per 100 g, but which can be up to 25 mg depending on the variety. The skin contains more vitamin C than the pulp. But due to its low relative weight, it only accounts for a small fraction (around 25%) of the global amount of vitamin C of an apple.</li> <li>Fibres: They are plentiful in an apple, reaching 2.1 g per 100 g on average in the peeled fruit, and 3 to 3.7 g with its skin. </li> </ul> <!--mainContentText--></div> <!--mainContent--></div> <!--wrapperMain--></div> <!--wrapper--></div> <div id="wrapperFooter"> <div id="footerLinks"> <div id="footerOne"><a href="http://agriculture.gouv.fr/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" width="100%" height="100%" alt="" /></a></div> <div id="footerTwo"><a href="http://www.franceagrimer.fr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" width="100%" height="100%" alt="" /></a></div> <div id="footerThree"><a href="http://www.beat102103.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" width="100%" height="100%" alt="" /></a></div> <div id="footerFour"><a href="http://www.redfm.ie/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" width="100%" height="100%" alt="" /></a></div> <div id="footerFive"><a href="http://www.i105107.ie/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" width="100%" height="100%" alt="" /></a></div> <div id="footerSix"><a href="http://www.i102104.ie/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" width="100%" height="100%" alt="" /></a></div> <div id="footerSeven"><a href="http://www.lapomme.org/production/charte.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" width="100%" height="100%" alt="" /></a></div> <!--footerLinks--></div> <div id="footerNav"> <p>All rights reserved / <a rel="nofollow" href="../legal-information.html">Legal information</a> / <a rel="nofollow" href="../privacy-policy.html">Privacy Policy</a> / <a rel="nofollow" href="../disclaimer.html">Disclaimer</a><br />&copy; 2011 Sopexa Ireland Ltd</p> <!--footerNav--></div> <div id="footerCredits"> <a target="_blank" title="Website Design by Creative Nation" href="http://www.creativenation.ie"><img src="../images/butCN.gif" width="20" height="13" alt="Website Design by Creative Nation" /></a><a title="Website Development by IPAG (Ireland) Ltd" target="_blank" href="http://www.ipag.ie/"><img src="../images/butIPAG.gif" width="25" height="13" alt="Website Development by IPAG (Ireland) Ltd" /></a> <!--footerCredits--></div> <!--wrapperFooter--></div> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
