Consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals from the body.
- Whiter, healthier teeth: Apples won’t replace your toothbrush, but biting and chewing an apple can stimulate the production of saliva in your mouth and reduce tooth decay by lowering the levels of bacteria.
- Avoid Alzheimer’s: A study on the benefits of apples shows that drinking apple juice could keep Alzheimer’s away and fight the effects of aging on the brain.
- Decrease your risk of diabetes: Women who eat at least one apple a day are 28 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who don’t eat apples.
- Reduce cholesterol: The soluble fiber found in apples binds with fats in the intestine, which translates into lower cholesterol levels.

History & Trade
The fruit is one of the oldest varieties in existence; a research study states that humans have enjoyed apples ever since at least 6500 B.C. The fruit were among the favorite lists of Ancient Greeks and Romans. In Norse tradition, a more positive guise was given to the fruit i.e., a magic apple was said to keep people youthful eternally.
About 60 million tons of apples are grown globally with about 11 billion USD value. Iran’s apple production is estimated to reach 4.12 million tons in the current Iranian year (March 2020-21), marking a 3% increase compared with the previous year,” he was quoted as saying by IRNA. Parmah noted that Iran currently has 251,000 hectares of apple orchards, close to 230,000 hectares of which bear fruit.
Storage Tips
The ideal storage temperature is 30 to 35 degrees F. with 90 to 95 percent relative humidity. If you don’t have a lot of apples, the refrigerator is a good option. Place them in the crisper drawer in a plastic bag with holes in it or cover the apples with a damp paper towel. Don’t store other vegetables in the same drawer, because apples give off ethylene gas, which can speed the decay of neighboring produce.
If you have larger quantities, look for a cool, dark (or dim) place that’s relatively humid, such as a cellar or garage. It’s best if the temperature stays close to freezing but not below! Wrap each apple — preferably with the stem on — in a piece of newspaper or kraft paper. The paper keeps the apples separate. Place the wrapped apples in a crate or bin, ideally in a single layer.
