| APPLE
Italy is one of the major european producers of apples, with cultivations located mainly in Trentino, Veneto, Emilia and Piemonte.
The most common varieties Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Renett, Annurca, Limoncella and Granny Smith.
The apple is a well-balanced fruit and very nutritional.
An apple eaten on an empty stomach helps purge the system; after meals it helps digestion because it doesn't cause bloating and an apple before bed helps to induce sleep.
Baked apple is a natural laxative. While cooked in wine and honey it becomes an optimum tonic.
Apples are also recommended for most diabetics. To find apples at the height of their flavour we must wait for autumn but fortunately apples are available all year.
Apples are used to produce cider, vinegar, juice and jams. |
