Everyone has heard about the benefits of apples, since this fruit, common in our latitudes, has a rich composition.

However, not everyone knows that it is useful not only in its raw form.

Benefits of apples in different forms

Freshly picked apples are considered the most useful, since the longer the fruit lies, the lower the concentration of useful substances in it becomes.

The same applies to the peel: without it, apples are less caloric, but the peel contains a significant amount of nutrients, so it is recommended to eat fruits with the peel.

Baked apples are rich in fiber and microelements, and during the heat treatment they retain pectin, which is beneficial for the body.

One of the main advantages of such a product is that it can be consumed by those who are contraindicated to eat fresh fruit, since caustic fruit acids are destroyed during heat treatment.

Dried apples retain most of their nutrients. In addition, due to their high fiber and pectin content, they are useful for those who suffer from constipation.
