An Apple's Life

The life of and apple

So why apples? Apples are a great source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber such as pectin helps prevent cholesterol buildup. The insoluble fiber in apples provides bulk in the intestinal tract which helps hold water to cleanse and move food quickly through the digestive system.

Many people don't realize how extensive the life of an apple really is. The buds of this years apples began to form last fall. Apples have a long a difficult life to get to your house.
