You’ve probably heard the age-old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Apple have more than 7,500 different varieties and are one of the most consumed and grown fruits worldwide. When you eat them fresh and whole (as opposed to pre-sliced, juiced, or as applesauce), they are the healthiest. Approximately 80 calories, 1 gram of protein, 19 grams of natural sugar, and no fat, sodium, or cholesterol are present in a medium one. Despite not being a miracle food, eating apples is beneficial for your health.

Apples also have a low glycemic index, so eating them won't cause a spike in blood sugar levels. So even though a red Delicious or a golden Honeycrisp might taste incredibly sweet, your body can handle the sugar. Additionally, eating an apple as a snack can be a sensible way to satisfy cravings because apples are sweet and filling. Just be certain to consume the entire fruit, peel and all. Because of the fiber, you will feel fuller for a longer period of time

The following are the varieties of apple :

• Red Delicious
• McIntosh
• Crispin
• Gala
• Granny Smith
• Fuji
• Honeycrisp
• Kashmiri apples
