fuji apples

Per single apple:

Fuji apples have the highest overall concentration of bioflavonoids of any variety of apple. Bioflavonoids protect you from heart disease and cancer, and are also essential for maintaining your level of health and controlling your weight.
Fujis are rich in fiber, which supports digestion & heart health. Don’t peel your apple though, most of that fiver lives in the skin!
They are also high in Vitamin C, which has tons of health benefits like preventing diabetes, cancer and other medical conditions. Vitamin C also helps prevent the infections that lead to illnesses and can be eaten to promote healing.
The skin of a Fuji apple contains the compound quercitin, which can reduce your risk of heart attack by about 32 percent! Fujis also contain the compound pectin, and is associated with cleansing properties. Green apples contain more pectin, but Fuji apples still contain enough to help your body get rid of harmful chemicals and metals and also may reduce how much fat your body is able to absorb, which helps control your weight.
