On September 28th, we will celebrate World Apple Day. This is the perfect opportunity for lovers of hot infusions to discover aromatic tea compositions enriched with this fruit!
Apples are one of the most commonly consumed fruits. Their popularity stems from both their year-round availability in stores and their diverse flavors. All varieties of apples are characterized by juiciness, but it's up to us whether we choose the sweeter or tarter ones.
In this post, you will learn about the health benefits of eating apples, in what forms the fruit can be added to infusions, and which Basilur brand teas contain added apple in their composition.
Are apples healthy?
It is a commonly known fact that fruits are an essential component of a balanced diet. Apples, due to their high content of numerous substances, have a beneficial effect on health.
Apples are a source of:
- Vitamins C, E, B9, and B6.
- Minerals, potassium, calcium, nitrogen, magnesium, manganese, copper, and fiber.
- Simple sugars, primarily sucrose and fructose.
- Bioactive substances, including polyphenols, organic acids, and tannins.
Thanks to these substances, apples play an important role in preventing cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, diabetes, and also help maintain a healthy body weight.
According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, one apple can be eaten as part of the daily fruit intake.
Apples for weight loss?
Apples are low-calorie fruits with high nutritional value. They are also a source of dietary fiber, which plays a huge role in the weight loss process. Why? This group of substances not only regulates bowel function but also prolongs the feeling of satiety. These aspects make apples an excellent substitute for sweet snacks, especially for people striving to lose weight.
A medium-sized apple provides the body with approximately 80 kcal.
Apples in tea?
Apples are an undeniable hit in autumn teas. They can be found in most seasonal infusions served in cafes. The fruit not only lends them sweetness but also combines excellently with additions that make a pleasant warmth spread through our bodies after the very first sip of tea. We're talking about spices (cinnamon, cloves, star anise), honey, fruit syrups, and citrus.
In what form should apples be added to tea? Depending on your preferences or convenience, you can cut the fruit into large or smaller pieces, into slices, or you can reach for ready-made apple juice.
