Apples

Description

In Norse mythology, a magic apple was said to keep people young forever. A fantastic tale but one probably based on some truth about the anti-aging benefits of apples: The vitamin C and polyphenols in apples hinder the free radicals thereby protecting cells from aging as well as reduce the occurrence of cancer, degenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Moderately sweet with a refreshing tartness, crisp when fresh and addictively chewy when dried, it's easy to see why apples are probably the world's most popular fruit. From Granny Smith to Ida Red, the flavors and textures of these dried apples varies according to organic availability. This is the secret behind Alishan Cafe’s amazing apple pie. Incorporate them in your baked goodies or keep some for a healthy snack that's always within reach.
