Apple
Overview
Why eat an apple?
An apple is a low-calorie, high-water snack that delivers fiber, a little vitamin C and potassium for about 52 calories per 100 grams. Most of its fiber and antioxidant compounds sit in and just under the skin, so eating it unpeeled gives you the most for very little effort.
Good to know: Apples carry about 10 g of natural sugar per 100 g, so whole fruit is a better choice than juice, which strips away the fiber.
Fiber that fills you up
With 2.4 g of fiber per 100 g, apples add bulk that slows digestion, supports regularity and helps meals feel satisfying for longer.
Light on calories
A cup of slices comes in around 57 calories with no meaningful fat or sodium, making apples an easy swap for heavier snacks.
Small steady nutrient boost
Each 100 g brings 4.6 mg of vitamin C plus 107 mg of potassium, nutrients involved in immune function, tissue repair and normal blood pressure.
