Purefresh organic apples
Apples are one of our very popular lines, and although they don’t come in the glossy format that conventional get thanks to waxing, they are delicious!

Apples are full of:
Flavinoids: antioxidants that help prevent lung and colon cancer, and heart disease.
Pectin: soluble fiber that helps reduce cholesterol.
Fiber: promotes weight loss: a medium apple contains more fiber than most cereals.
Boron: a mineral that helps women maintain estrogen during menopause.

Tests carried out by the UK consumer magazine Health Which? found that peeling apples removed around three-quarters of surface residues of the most commonly found pesticides, while just washing removed about a third.

Buy organic and eat them freely with skin on!
Apples are stored after harvest so that we can enjoy them all year. Keep them in the fridge or crisper after June as they will deteriorate quite quickly if left in the fruit bowl.

Did you know that Purefresh Apples are cheaper than some conventional brands?
