An Apple A Day

I have always been so choosy when it comes to apple. The truth is I can’t eat up a whole apple if it’s not the kind I like. Sometimes I pick the luring red apples in the grocery’s fruit stall but even the color does not please my tongue the moment I eat it. If there’s one kind of apple that pleases my eyes as well as my palate, it should be the Fuji apples. I find it more juicy, sweet, crunchy, and not so sour. And it’s the only kind I would recognize because it is usually single-packed by a plastic foam net, haha!

The common saying or slogan, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” actually stressed out the health benefits of apple. We know that fruits are a good source of Vitamin C, but apples contain relatively low amount of Vitamin C compared to other fruits and vegetables. It’s fiber content helps regulate bowel movements and helps reduce the risk of colon cancer. Apples may reduce the risk of prostate cancer and lung cancer according to research.  Oh, really?  I’m not that fond of apples but If I have an apple tree like this, I would pick and eat one a day even if it’s not my kind of apple just so to keep me away from the scary c.

  • I only love green apples with a tinge of sourness to it :D I wish I had an apple tree in my garden too. Happy weekend, Marlene.

    I am not at all a fruit eater, I mean, I do eat them, but only once in a while. I don’t really fancy apples nor pears. I do like grapes, but still, I don’t mind not eating them, and I don’t get lured to buy them at the fruit stalls too. Horrible huh? There are certain fruits which I like, like melons, but again, I don’t even buy them regularly. How, do I have problems with fruits? LOL

    • Marlene says:

      Oh, Farah, why do we have many things in common? I can live a day without eating any fruit, although we must at least have one of any kind a day. Hehee, I don’t know if this is a problem at all.

  • Rozella says:

    Oooo… I love Fuji apples too! Very sweet and juicy. Yum!

  • Amor says:

    Ako rin, I prefer Fuji apples. I have not tasted the green variety.

    Anyway, September na kaya pwede na kitang batiin ng Merry Christmas! :)

    • Marlene says:

      At Fuji rin ang marami sa diyan sa atin lalo na kapag pasko, hehee.

      Hahaa! Mabuti at binati mo lang ako, yung isang contact-friend ko sa friendster regalo na kaagad hiningi. :-(

  • bOjoy says:

    hi te marlene.. ako din mas prefer ko Fuji kasi juicy. The red one really looks attractive pero not satisfying pg kinain na. the green ones di ko pa na try, yan ba ung maasim? hehehe

    anyway, maUng pasko in advance.Ü

    • Marlene says:

      Ganun nga, bojoy, murag gapas usahay ang red apples. Aslom man sad ang green, pero mas lami ang kaaslom sa mangga, hehee.

      Ahehe, maayong pasko sad. Ikatulo ka na nakauna greet sa koa dah.
