sallam,

Though of sharing this informtion about fruites:)

------------

The colour of the outside of an apple may be green, yellow, or various shades of red. Some yellow apples have weird brown spots all over them, while some red apples, like the Jonathan, have even weirder white spots! Apple colours also differ on the inside, where the flesh may be yellow, white, or cream-coloured. It's also interesting that apples will turn brown if you cut them open and leave them out for a couple of hours.

Each variety of apple has a slightly different flavour, from sweet, to tart, to bitter, to—ummmm--just right!

Textures also vary amongst apple varieties, from soft and mushy, to firm and crunchy.

Because there are so many different varieties of apple, each with slightly different qualities than the next, producers grow different types of apples for different purposes. Some apples, like the Empire, are sweet and wonderful when eaten fresh (in fact, of all the cultivated apples grown, over half are eaten fresh). Other apple varieties are better suited for cooking or further processing. The Rome Beauty, for example, is often used for baking and not eaten fresh because it has a firm, acidic flesh, and tough, smooth skin.

Did you know that by eating at least 3 apples a day can help to lose weight?!:)



But thats only if you are a big fan of eating apples :think:

In specific green apples are always adviced to be part of your diet list:)this is what i have been told.....


But i am not a big fan of apples, otherwise i could have followed the instructions:angry:
