HIGH POTASSIUM AND PECTIN CONTENT
The apple tree is a typical plant found in temperate climate. It’s from the family Rosaceae, belonging to the genre Malus. The tree, which reaches up to 10 meters high, has brown bark with smooth peel, and rounded shape. Its fragrant flowers are white or pink. The apple tree is from Central Asia and from regions of the Caucasus and its cultivation spread to large parts of Europe, England and Germany, thanks to the Roman Empire domination. When the Americas were discovered, many hundreds of varieties of apples were known. The setlers took with them seeds and plants of the best varieties, that spread quickly in America. In Brazil, the apple tree is cultivated in Santa Catarina state, mainly due to the more suitable weather.
Apple presents medicinal properties and it produces beneficial effects for the heart, due to its high potassium content, and the presence of pectin, which prevents fat deposition on the arterial wall, preventing arteriosclerosis. Each 100 grams of apple has, on average, 55 calories and 1.5 grams of fibers, plus considerable quantities of vitamins B1 and B2, niacin, tannins and mineral salts, such as phosphorus and iron. It’s rich in fruit hydroxy acids, like malic and galacturonic acids.
