We use the whole fruit, peel and all, and nothing but the cream of the crop (not the bruised and tattered leftovers that most companies use). Our certified organic, USA-grown apples are processed under cold temperatures to ensure the absolute integrity of the finished product. Apples, rich in a highly beneficial bioflavonoid called quercetin, continue to reign supreme when it comes to everyday fruits that are good for our health in so many ways — from keeping our minds sharp to promoting healthy and "happy" hearts. There's a reason we continue to say "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!"
