"Pick Your Own Apples"

Apples provide a bit of Vitamin C and Potassium. Apples are a good source of soluble fiber, especially pectin, which helps control insulin levels by slowing the release of sugar into your bloodstream. Pectin also helps reduce cholesterol levels by lowering insulin secretion. The custom of serving fresh fruit, particularly apples, at the end of a meal arose because of the favorable effects on digestion. Apple juice was on of the earliest antidepressants.
