Apple Facts
The coming of fall always reminds us that it’s one of the best times of the year: apple season. In fact, the months of September, October and November are National Apple Months, so let’s celebrate with some fun facts about one of our favorite fruits: the crisp and delicious apple!
- Archeologists put apple-eating as far back as 6,500 B.C.
- Americans eat an average of about 17 pounds of fresh apples per person a year.
- An apple tree's leaves transfer the sun’s energy into stored carbohydrates in the apple itself — it takes the work of at least 50 leaves to make one apple.
- A medium, fist-sized apple supplies 80 calories of energizing carbohydrates that your body can use as fuel during exercise or other activities.
- Apples supply soluble fiber called pectin that helps lower circulating cholesterol levels by blocking cholesterol absorption into the body.
- Enjoy apples with the peel on — two-thirds of the fiber is in the peel, as well as many health-boosting compounds called flavanoids that may help ward off cancer.
- Apple cider supplies 125 calories per 8 oz. serving. It takes 36 apples to make a gallon of cider.
