Granny Smith

'Granny Smith" apples are probably the most popular green apple variety in the world. They are the sweetheart of every dieter and the first snacking option for everyone who’s into tartness. Their bewitching neon-green skin, let alone crisp, juicy flesh add even more to their undeniable appeal ! These apples are high in cell repairing antioxidants, and are also a good source of soluble fiber, which has been proven to help lower cholesterol, control weight, and regulate blood sugar. In addition, they contain vitamins A and C, as well as a trace amount of iron, most of which is located in their skin. These exceptional apples are often used in baking because of their high acidity and ability to hold their shape when cooked. Try baking them into sweet or savory pies, tarts, or meat pastries. You can also add them to savory bread stuffing, risotto or potato pancakes. Their sweet-tart flavor is also a great addition to soups, smoothies and sauces.
