Appla.cy - Apple

Pink lady apples are tart at first with a sweet finish in every bite. Because they have to meet specific sugar and acid criteria, you’ll get the best of both worlds. If they don’t meet the right standards, you might see pink lady apples called Cripps in stores. It’s the same apple that failed to meet sugar, acid, and firmness levels.

Eating apples can help clean your teeth. Apples act as a toothbrush, scrubbing away plaque from teeth, and removing other food debris, when they are covered in the fibrous content of apples. The acidity in an apple helps kill off badbacteria that can cause gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums.

Apples are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, all of which benefit human health. They also provide an array of antioxidants. These substances help neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are reactive molecules that can build up as a result of natural processes and environmental pressures.

Braeburn apples have a dim, red skin (similar to gala apples), and their texture is firm and crisp. Each bite has a nice balance of sweet and tart, and they’re best for baking or eating raw. Cameo apples are yellow with some red streaks. They are known for being thin and delicate with dense flesh.
