Kitchen Hints of the Day!

Our friend the Apple....


* For maximum health benefits, don’t peel your apples. Two-thirds of the fiber and a wealth of antioxidants are found in the skin. Nearly half of the vitamin C lies directly underneath the peel.


* Apples will ripen six to 10  times faster at room temperature than refrigerated. Most apples will keep two weeks in the coldest part of the refrigerator.


* Choose a type of apple suited to your purpose. Certain apple types do exceptionally well in various types of cooking. All will work in almost all cooking methods, but the methods listed below are best suited for each apple type.
* Empire is good for eating fresh, salads and freezing.
* Fuji is good for eating fresh, salads and freezing.
* Gala is good for eating fresh, salads, freezing and applesauce.
