Fruit
There is a reason the old saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" has stuck around for generations! Apples are a global masterpiece of nutrition and crisp, refreshing flavor. Hailing from the rose family, they are perfectly engineered by nature to act as a superb source of hydration, crisp chewing satisfaction, and a highly unique soluble fiber called pectin. They are the quintessential everyday fruit for good health.
Look for apples that feel firm, dense, and solid when you give them a gentle squeeze. The skin should be taut, smooth, and free of deep bruises, soft dents, or wrinkles. A bright, fresh aroma near the stem is always a wonderful indicator of peak flavor!
Apples keep okay on your kitchen counter for about a week, but they will stay crisp and juicy for up to a month if stored in your refrigerator’s crisper drawer! Keep them in their own section away from leafy greens, as apples naturally release ethylene gas as they ripen, which can cause nearby green vegetables to yellow and spoil prematurely.
