Delicious and nutritious baked fruits.

Fruits are typically eaten raw, but did you know? Baking them can not only enhance their rich flavor and aroma but also satisfy your cravings and boost your health. For those who love to try new things, you should give it a go.

Baked Apple

Baked Citrus (Anti-aging + Cancer Prevention + Revitalization)

Heating citrus allows nutrients from the peel to fully seep into the flesh. Every extra bite of baked citrus means absorbing extra nutrients. Citrus health benefits aren't just in the pulp; the white pith and segment membranes are also rich in Vitamin C and pectin, which can combat fatigue and prevent aging. Therefore, eating just 2 citrus fruits a day can provide 80% of your daily required Vitamin C.

Preparation Steps:

Preliminary Step: Remove the wax from the citrus peel. Soak the citrus in 40°C to 50°C hot water for about 1 minute. Then, take it out and dry it with a cloth.

Start Cooking: Use an oven. Wrap the orange in aluminum foil to isolate it from air, place the foil-wrapped citrus in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes before eating.

Note: Using an oven ensures the citrus heats evenly, preventing the peel from burning and making it softer.

Baked Apple (Glorious Skin + Constipation Prevention + Edema Reduction)

In baked apples, the activity of calcium in the flesh increases, and the activity of dietary fiber increases by up to 9 times. This helps with the body's water metabolism, freeing you from constipation and annoying edema.

Apples are rich in pectin (a type of soluble dietary fiber). When heated, it breaks down into smaller molecules, making it easier for the digestive system to absorb. Dietary fiber promotes intestinal peristalsis and aids smooth excretion. In baked apples, the activity of dietary fiber can be up to 9 times higher than when raw, making it highly effective for relieving constipation. Furthermore, apple polyphenols in the apple skin are very beneficial for the skin, and their effects are enhanced by heating.

Preparation Steps:

Preliminary Step: Wash the skin, cut the apple into 4 large pieces, and remove the core.

Start Cooking: Wrap the apple in aluminum foil, place it in an oven, and bake at 200°C for 20-30 minutes.

Note: The baked apple is fragrant and aromatic after oven heating, which can really whet the appetite.
