Instead of popping those vitamins and health supplements, bite into the original health food, apples. And who can resist Washington Apples? Available now easily, they can be eaten as a fresh fruit or added to mouth-watering recipes. Apples are not only highly nutritious compared to the calorie per serving, they also protect against diseases. A great source of fibre and polyphenols, apples play a protective role against some cancers, heart disease, asthma and Type II diabetes. There are more than 7,000 varieties of apple grown around the world today. Washington Apples are grown in more than 1,72,000 acres of apple orchards nestled in the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Some of the popular variants of Washington Apples now available in India are juicy Red Delicious, mildly sweet Golden Delicious, green and juicy Granny Smith.
