The Bottom Line
Apples are incredibly good for you, and eating them is linked to a lower risk of many major diseases. What's more, their soluble fiber content may promote weight loss and gut health. A medium apple equals 1.5 cups of fruit - which is 3/4 of the 2-cup daily recommendation for fruit. For the greatest benefits, eat the whole fruit - both skin and flesh.
So, get your locally grown, fresh and wholesome apples at the Apple Festival and enjoy a fantastic day of fun and family.
