The health benefits of apples have been proven for a long time, but it is not for nothing that apples grow in different colors.
Can we say that red, yellow or green apples differ in terms of their health benefits?
Multi-colored apples differ in their properties, writes the publication “Kuban News” with reference to nutritionist Ekaterina Novikova.
Benefits of apples
Fruits contain vitamins A, B, C, E, P, H, as well as potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, fiber, pectin and antioxidants.
They improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, improve heart, vision and skin health, prevent the development of certain types of cancer, strengthen bones and are a natural energy source.
Green apple
They are usually more sour, contain less sugar and calories, but are rich in vitamin C.
Green apple pigments are less allergenic.
Red apples
Contain more sugar but less acid. This should be taken into account by patients with diabetes.
They pose a certain danger to tooth enamel and can also cause an allergic reaction.
Yellow apples
They contain more sugar, beta-carotene and a lot of pectin.
In addition to color, you need to pay attention to the saturation of the color. The specialist claims that the brighter the apple, the healthier it is.
