Let's talk about the nutritional value of apples. Apples are rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, polyphenols, and flavonoids, all of which are natural antioxidants and are particularly effective in preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
However, when eating apples, you must not eat the core, as it contains cyanide. Australian researchers have found that cyanide in apple cores. If it accumulates in large quantities in the body, it can cause symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, and rapid breathing. In severe cases, coma may occur.
Therefore, when eating apples, be sure not to eat the core, otherwise it can be very dangerous.
Actually, there are many "fake" apples on the market now. They don't have a fruity taste. This is because during the growth process, they are treated with growth hormones, ripening agents, or expansion agents. Or excessive preservatives are used during storage. Even coloring agents, waxing, and bleaching are used during sale. This exploits the consumer's mentality of judging fruit by its appearance. These toxic fruits have become a serious public hazard that threatens people's health.
Experts suggest not buying apples that are too red. It's best if they have some stripes, the more the better, looking as if they are about to "crack". This kind of fruit is the most delicious.
Speaking of not buying apples that are too red, what kind of apple is the best? You should pick one with some stripes, the more the better, the kind that looks like it's "cracking". I've really learned from experience with that kind of fruit; they are all very sweet.
In addition, when buying apples, you should also look at their stems. If the stem is light green, it means it hasn't been picked for too long, so it's still fresh. But if the apple's stem is withered and yellow, or black, it's obvious that it has been picked for a long time. It may look fresh, but that's just because it has been stored well. In the end, it's not fresh.
