Learn about the Apple

The apple is a round, medium-sized fruit with a thick red, green or yellow skin and a sweet, crunchy white flesh inside. One of the most popular and beloved fruits, apples are high in fiber and vitamin C.

The skin of an apple contains antioxidants and phytonutrients that provide many health benefits. The flesh is juicy and varies from crisp and tart to softer and mealy. Inside the core are several small, edible seeds. Apples grow on trees in temperate orchards and come in thousands of varieties ranging in taste, texture, size and color.

Common types include Fuji, Gala, McIntosh and Granny Smith. When harvested, apples can be eaten immediately but are often stored to be eaten months later. Apples keep well due to their sturdy protective skin. They are versatile fruits used for eating raw, baking, juicing and cooking.

From sauces to pies and tarts, apples feature prominently in many classic desserts with their balance of sweetness and acid. Their portable size and crunchy texture makes them a convenient, healthy snack. The familiar round shape encasing a slightly sweet, ripe white flesh makes apples one of the most beloved fruits worldwide.
