Fiber stimulates digestion, peristalsis (contraction of the walls) of the intestine, and also removes toxins. The acids and tannins contained in the fruits stop the processes of decay and fermentation in the intestines.

Nutritional and energy value

Apples have a low energy value, which does not diminish their benefits. On the contrary, due to its low calorie content, this fruit is considered an excellent dietary product.

Glycemic index

The glycemic index is a measure of the rate at which carbohydrates in a particular food are digested in the body and how much blood sugar rises after eating it. Foods with a high glycemic index dramatically increase blood sugar levels, disrupt metabolic processes, provoke a feeling of hunger and contribute to the formation of body fat, while foods with a low glycemic index are absorbed slowly, having a beneficial effect on sugar levels and maintaining a feeling of satiety for a long time.

Apples have a low glycemic index of 30. For comparison, a banana has a glycemic index of 70 and white bread– 130. Glucose, fructose and sucrose contained in the fetus are slowly absorbed by the body and do not pose a danger to the figure. The amount of sugar in a fruit depends on the variety and weight. On average, this is 6 grams of fructose and 2 grams of fructose and sucrose. This amount of sugars stimulates metabolic processes in the body and does no harm.

Nutritional value of different varieties

Nutritional and energy value of apples different varieties they do not differ too much, just as they do not differ in the set of vitamins and useful microelements. Mainly, the difference is present in the sugar content, which affects the taste and calorie content of the fruit. Consider the most popular Russian and foreign varieties:

About cooking apples

Apples can be consumed not only fresh, there are many processing methods, and many recipes with them. The fruits can be baked, preserved, made into juices, jams and preserves, used as a filling for pies and pies, even dried. Unfortunately, their useful properties in processing, slicing, and even just when long-term storage partially or completely lost. At heat treatment fruit loses most of the vitamins, but increases the amount of pectin, which has a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels.

calories and the nutritional value will also vary, mainly depending on the amount of water that will remain in the product after processing, and on the addition of other ingredients during cooking. The energy value and glycemic index will increase rapidly if sugar or honey is added to the fruit, such a product can no longer be called dietary.

Baked apples

Baked apples - a traditional dish Russian cuisine. They can be served with honey, nuts, cranberries or caramel, as a side dish for meat or poultry, or as a dessert on their own.

You can bake apples both whole and in slices. If you remove the core, the fruit can be stuffed with nuts, raisins or cottage cheese, which will favorably affect the variety of the table. For baking, you should choose sour green fruits, such as granny smith or antonovka. During the heat treatment, the sucrose contained in the fruit breaks down into glucose and fructose, which allows the baked fruit to be absorbed better than fresh. The amount of pectin, which has a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels in the body, also increases.

If earlier it was necessary to preheat the oven to cook baked apples, now there are many recipes for cooking them in the microwave, double boiler and slow cooker, which greatly speeds up and simplifies the cooking process.

During heat treatment, some of the vitamins are destroyed, but all the minerals remain, which allows you to still count the baked apple useful product. Due to the low calorie content, high digestibility and digestive benefits, there are special diets based on baked apples.

But it should be remembered that any additives to this dish significantly change the nutritional and energy value product. So, for example, the calorie content of a baked apple is only 46 calories per 100 grams, and with the addition of honey this figure rises to 90 calories, with sugar - 70-80 calories, depending on the amount of the additive. The sugar level rises from 10 to 17-19 grams. So do not abuse sweeteners, but it is better to completely abandon them. Also, you should not peel the fruits before baking - the bulk of vitamins and minerals are contained just in the peel or under it.

dried apples

This type of cooking, like drying, appeared in ancient times. They dried and dried not only fruits, but also meat. Without appropriate technologies, this was the only source of vitamins and microelements in the winter.

A dried apple retains almost all the vitamins and beneficial properties of a fresh fruit. It will be useful to add it to the diet as a snack, or to replace chips and snacks with it. You can not only use dried apples in their natural form, but as a filling for a pie, cook compotes from them, which will also serve as an excellent source of vitamins.

For drying, fruits of any variety are suitable. The thickness of the slices should not exceed one centimeter. To keep the light color when drying, apple slices are dipped in boiling water for a few minutes. The drying process itself takes place in the oven, at a temperature of 60-90 degrees, depending on the desired effect, and lasts from four to eight hours.

The finished dried apple should be firm, but should not break. In the southern regions, you can dry in the sun, in which case the whole process takes several days. Store dried apples in a glass container, cloth bag or paper bag. room temperature. Do not store in plastic or refrigeration.

The nutritional value of a dried apple is much higher than a fresh one, due to the lack of moisture in it. The calorie content of such a product ranges from 270-300 calories, and the amount of vitamins and minerals increases by 5-6 times.

Dried apples

Unlike dried ones, dried apples are already a full-fledged dessert. They are prepared using a large amount of sugar, and the amount of vitamins and the degree of benefit, alas, give way to an amazing taste and aroma. Apples are cut into slices about two centimeters thick, covered with sugar, and left under oppression for a day, allowing excess juice to drain. Then they are dried in a slightly heated oven for two to three hours. For cooking delicious treats it is very important not to overcook the slices in the oven.

Sun-dried apple is soft and sweet, and it is recommended to store it only in a tightly closed glass container. The calorie content of a dried apple is 280 calories per 100 grams of the product. The sugar content in it is 50-60 grams!

Jam

Jam is a fruit puree boiled with sugar. Apple jam is especially thick thanks to pectin, a natural thickener that only increases as a result of heat treatment.

The process of making jam is quite long and laborious, in addition to preparing the raw materials ( applesauce) it is necessary to keep it on fire for several hours, stirring regularly. As a result, now meet homemade on the table apple jam- a rarity. It is much easier to buy it in a store, the price of jam is quite low, and the assortment is always large.

Homemade jam will have a brighter taste and the absence of many preservatives that manufacturers add to their product. So that the jam does not ferment, and the consistency is dense, sugar must be added to it at least 60 percent. Otherwise, the wrong proportions will have to be more than compensated for with artificial preservatives and thickeners. Homemade jam also does not have to be mashed to an ideal state, small soft pieces of an apple that is translucent from long-term cooking will only improve its taste.

A lot of sugar is added to the jam, which does not allow this type of apple product to be called dietary. Jam calorie content - 230-240 calories, more than 60 grams of sugar per 100 grams of product. Most of the vitamins and minerals are lost from prolonged cooking.

Apples and pastries

Apple filling has become a classic for muffins, pies and pies. You can use both fresh apples and jam. These are the two most popular types of apple fillings. In the case of jam, everything is simple - it does not need to be further processed or added sugar before being used as a filling.

Using fresh apples for the filling, you need to consider that it will give a lot of juice during the cooking process. As a rule, when preparing wind pies, the fresh fruit is cut into cubes, sprinkled with sugar and placed in the dough. During the baking process, the apples will have time to bake properly, giving a sufficient amount of juice, so that such pies will be very juicy. If the pies are fried in a pan, for starters, chopped apples should be stewed with sugar for several minutes. When frying, the dough cooks much faster, and a fresh apple does not have time to bake inside.

The calorie content of pies with apples varies from 200 calories (wind) to 280 (fried). It can be further reduced if you do not add sugar to the filling.

Choosing the Right Apples

To enjoy the taste of apples and get a good portion of vitamins and minerals, you need to take into account several nuances when choosing apples, namely:

• First of all, you need to understand that each fruit has its own season. For apples, this is August-October. And if in the middle of winter the apples of winter varieties are still full useful vitamins, then in spring or early summer on the shelves you can find only fruits treated with the strongest chemicals, which have completely lost any useful properties;
• the surface must be smooth, without damage, dark spots and dents;
• there should be no wrinkles on the surface of the fruit. This indicates the withering of the fruit, its taste will be hopelessly spoiled, not to mention the beneficial properties;
• choose fruits of medium size, as natural as possible in appearance. Apples that are too large, or have an ideal uniform color, have been treated with growth enhancers and ripening accelerators;
• the fruit should not be sticky or too shiny, this is a sign of chemical treatment for longer storage;
• the smell does not have to be apple. Most varieties have little to no smell unless the skin is broken.

If you nevertheless purchased a beaten apple, or found signs of decay already during storage, immediately separate it from the rest. The process of rotting in apples quickly spreads not only inside the fruit, but also to neighboring fruits.
