The ABC’s of Apples
Apples are one of the easiest fruits to pick and use. They are delicious, not easily bruised, and most varieties store well. Apples can be eaten fresh, cooked, frozen, and made into many tasty and healthy dishes! Thanks to a global marketplace, apples are found in grocery stores all year round. In the United States, the apple season runs from the end of summer through early winter. Instead of buying apples at a grocery store, go apple picking with your family or buy from your local farmer to have fresh, nutrient dense apples!
