[WIN] It’s true what they say about apples …
Eating apples have a lot of benefits.
Apples are among the most common fruits, packed with various health benefits. It helps to prevent gallstones, detoxify the liver, boost the immune system and neutralise irritable bowel syndrome.
With all of these benefits, the phrase ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’, should certainly hold a lot of truth.
Ryan da Silva, store manager of Food Lover’s Market Krugersdorp, has given tips on the best ways to store apples and to prevent them from ripening too soon.
• Always handle apples carefully as they bruise easily.
• It is ideal to store apples in a refrigerator as it would stay fresher for longer.
• When storing apples in the refrigerator, keep them in a plastic bag as they give off ethylene. While not harmful, this natural gas does make other fresh produce, lettuce in particular, turn brown quicker.
