Qualities

Apple contains a wide range of antioxidants including quercetin, a type of flavonoid which may
help regulate blood sugar by inhibiting the enzymes that digest carbohydrates, thus slowing down the release of sugars into the bloodstream. Apple is a good source of vitamin C and it boosts the body’s production of collagen (a protein found abundantly in the skin). Apples contain pectin, a soluble dietary fiber, which helps to maintain colon health. Apple powder may also help to protect against inflammatory bowel disease. Further research suggests that both antioxidant compounds and pectin may play a role in promoting cardiovascular health and that pectin, in particular, may help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

Common Use

Apple powder tastes sweet and slightly tangy. It is excellent as a nutrition boost in sprinkled on porridge or in granola or trail mixes to add a little sweet apple taste.
