This weekend I went apple picking and was reminded that there is nothing like the taste of an apple freshly picked from the tree! Even when they are in season, the apples you buy at the store can't compare. I suggest you find an orchard near you--and get to picking!
Apples are an extremely healthy food. They are low in calories with a good amount of fiber to help fill you up. They also contain phytochemicals and antioxidants. In order to get all the benefits the apple has to offer you have to eat the skin!
I grew up going to the apples orchards every fall and it has been so much fun taking my son there these past couple of years. I'm glad he now knows what a fresh picked apple tastes like because once you go fresh from the tree, you'll have a new standard for your apples!
Need to find an orchard near you?! Just Google it and have a great time picking! If you have already gone picking this fall, please share your orchard name (with the state included) so readers can get ideas of where to go!
Find even more delicious options for eating your apples!
