About This Food

Apples are a widely consumed fruit, enjoyed around the world for their crisp texture and sweet taste. A medium-sized apple contains approximately 94.6 calories. It's a good source of fiber, which aids digestion and promotes satiety, and provides vitamin C, an important antioxidant. Apples also contain pectin, a soluble fiber that can help lower cholesterol levels. They are generally suitable for most people but those with fructose malabsorption should consume in moderation. A recommended intake is around one to two apples per day. Apples can be a neutral addition to a weight management plan, depending on portion size. Consider enjoying apple slices with a tablespoon of nut butter for a more balanced and satisfying snack.
