Green Apples, coming from the species Malus domestica, are known for their tart flavor and distinctive, crisp texture. These fruits are unique in their composition, containing quercetin, a flavonoid that's heat stable and known for supporting eye health and fostering mental focus.
Quercetin acts as a potent antioxidant, combating oxidative stress in the body and promoting overall cellular health - particularly in the eyes. Its benefits extend to cognitive functions as well, with studies suggesting its role in promoting mental focus and alertness.
Yet, the marvel of green apples doesn't stop at quercetin. They are also rich in soluble fiber, specifically pectin, which contributes to feelings of satiety. Pectin’s magic comes from its capacity to form a gel-like substance in the gut, slowing digestion and making you feel full for longer periods of time. Furthermore, pectin acts as a prebiotic, supporting a balanced gut environment by providing substance thats beneficial for the gut bacteria.
