Eat a Red Apple Day
You know the saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away?" It's true! Apples have a high nutritional value to keep you healthy. The peel alone contains antioxidants that help reduce damaged cells and fight some diseases. Apples are also fat, sodium, and cholesterol free!
Did you know that there are 7,500 varieties of apples grown throughout the world? They can come in a variety of shapes, flavors, and colors including all shades of red, green, and yellow.
This delicious fruit can be eaten raw, cooked, baked, or juiced. Apples are one of the few fruits that you can find fresh any time of the year. Enjoy Eat a Red Apple Day with a bite of your favorite red apple, a red delicious or macintosh, perhaps?
This week is National Cookie Cutter Week
