FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How long do apples last in the fridge?

Apples can last 6 to 8 weeks when stored in the refrigerator's crisper drawer.

Can you freeze fresh apples?

Yes, but they will lose their crisp texture. It is best to slice them and coat with lemon juice before freezing for use in smoothies or baking.

How can I tell if an apple is good quality?

Look for apples that are firm to the touch, have a bright color for their variety, and are free of soft spots or deep bruises.

What are the best substitutes for apples in a recipe?

Pears are the closest substitute in texture and flavor. For baking, unsweetened applesauce can often replace chopped apples.

Should I peel apples before eating?

It is better not to peel them; the skin contains about half of the fiber and the vast majority of the apple's antioxidants.

Why do apples turn brown after being cut?

This is due to enzymatic browning, a reaction between the apple's phenols and oxygen in the air.

Are apple seeds poisonous?

Apple seeds contain small amounts of amygdalin, which can release cyanide. However, you would need to chew and consume a very large quantity of seeds to be harmed.

Which apples are best for salads?

Sweet and crisp varieties like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp are excellent for raw salads.

Are apples high in sugar?

Apples contain natural sugars (fructose), but their high fiber content results in a low glycemic index, making them a healthy choice.

When is apple season?

While available year-round due to cold storage, peak harvest season is typically from late summer through late autumn.
