It\u2019s a day to recognise the wealth and variety of apples available in the United Kingdom.<\/li>\n<li><b>Poisonous or not<br \/>\n<\/b>Apple pips taste bitter and contain traces of cyanide which is very poisonous! However, there isn\u2019t enough in an apple to be harmful.<\/li>\n<li><b>They ripen other fruit<\/b><br \/>\nApples produce ethylene gas which accelerates the ripening of other fruits, including bananas, tomatoes and avocados!<\/li>\n<li><b>Apple storage<br \/>\n<\/b>Storing apples in the fridge can keep them crisp and fresh for up to three to four weeks. But keep them in a plastic bag, otherwise they can cause other vegetables in there to go brown.<\/li>\n<li><b>How to\u00a0stop apples going brown<br \/>\n<\/b>The flesh inside sliced apples quickly oxidises and goes brown. To stop this happening coat them well with lemon juice.<\/li>\n<li><b>Apple skin<\/b><br \/>\nThe skin of apples is the richest in nutrients, so leave the skin on to benefit from this!<\/li>\n<li><b>Best apples for cooking<\/b><br \/>\nTart apples like Granny Smiths and Pippins are the best ones for apple pies, tarts and baked apples, since they retain their texture well during cooking.Cooking apples (Brambley\u2019s Seedling) break down easily, so these are perfect for pur\u00e9ed dishes such as apple sauce, ice cream and mousse.<\/li>\n<li><b>Apple moisture<br \/>\n<\/b>You might be surprised, but using pieces of apple is a perfect way to soften dried brown sugar! It also keeps cakes and bakes moist, just add a slice to your cake storage tin.<\/li>\n<li><b>Nutritional benefits<br \/>\n<\/b>Apples are an excellent source of\u00a0<b>vitamin C<\/b>,\u00a0<b>potassium<\/b>,\u00a0<b>B vitamins<\/b>\u00a0and important\u00a0<b>phytochemicals<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 especially\u00a0<b>quercetin<\/b>, which all contribute to immune health and may reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.They\u2019re also low in calories, high in fibre and in pectin, a soluble fibre which is has been associated with helping to lower cholesterol levels. The high fibre and pectin in apples has also been shown to promote digestive health and are good for relieving both diarrhoea and constipation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Phew!
