Apples are a primary source of quick energy from natural fruit sugar, and they serve as a natural "toothbrush."  One medium size apple contains about 87 calories.

Apples are low in sodium, rich in potassium, and one of the best sources of dietary fiber.

Apples ripen about ten times faster at 70 degrees Fahrenheit than at 32 degrees. Best to keep refrigerated to preserve their freshness.

Apples have been growing in Orchards in New England for over 300 years.
