Description:
An apple contains beneficial fibre – a good dose of it for relatively low calories – and this is important in maintaining positive gut health (keeping the bowels moving, you know!). Apples also contain a great supply of Vitamin C, and have been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease and stroke. Grab a washed organic apple and enjoy it whole, cut it up for little mouths or enjoy the sweet taste of apple in one of these three recipes.
