What is National Eat A Red Apple Day?
On December 1st, National Eat a Red Apple Day encourages everyone to enjoy a red apple. A apple a day keeps the doctor away, the adage says, and today is a great time to test that theory.
An apple is both delectable and nutritious. Apples are widely available in the United States, with over 7,500 varieties of apples and over 7.5% of the world's production coming from the United States.
When it comes to a difference in health benefits between red and green apples, it's a close call. Both have their advantages. Green apples outperform the red apple barely in fiber content, according to the apple's fiber content. In addition, they have less sugar and carbohydrates. However, red apples tend to be more popular when eaten fresh. They're already sweet and don't need added sugar, and they don't need to be added sugar. The red apple barely edges out the green in antioxidants, only slightly outranks the green.
The majority of green apples are reserved for baking and preserves. Since most green apples are tart, the added sugar in recipes gives recipes a more pleasant taste for eating.
