About Diced apple

Diced apple refers to small, evenly cut pieces of apples, often used in salads, desserts, or as a snack. Apples are one of the most widely cultivated fruits globally, with origins tracing back to Central Asia and later spreading through Europe and Asia. They are a staple in many cuisines and are featured in dishes ranging from American apple pie to European strudels. Nutritionally, apples are low in calories (about 52 kcal per 100g) and high in dietary fiber (approximately 2.4g per 100g). They also contain essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and polyphenols, which are antioxidants. Most of the fiber and polyphenols are concentrated in the peel, so keeping the skin on diced apples provides the most nutritional benefit.

Health Benefits

• Boosts immune health due to vitamin C content (8% DV per 100g).
• Supports heart health through soluble fiber (pectin), which helps lower cholesterol levels.
• Provides antioxidants like quercetin and catechins, which help reduce inflammation and combat free radicals.
