Apple Facts
Apples are the third most popular fruit globally, according to 2022 global fruit production statistics. China leads the world in apple exports, followed by the United States. This beloved fruit is not just delicious but also packed with nutritional benefits. Rich in vitamin C and fiber, apples have been linked to a significant 28% reduced risk of type 2 diabetes for those who consume at least one apple daily, compared to those who eat none. You've probably heard the saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." While it’s true that apples offer many health benefits, it’s important to remember that their seeds can be toxic if consumed in large quantities, especially if crushed. So, enjoy your apples, but be cautious with the seeds!
