Apple Tips

For maximum eating enjoyment and longest "keeping time" be sure to keep your apples refrigerated. About 34 degrees is ideal. A garage or porch with constant temperature changes is NOT a good place to store apples.

Handle your apples like eggs to avoid bruising.

Apples kept under the proper conditions will last a long time!

A medium apple contains only 80 calories. Apples have NO FAT, CHOLESTEROL, OR SODIUM!
