Organic apples: the food to include in your daily diet
Did you know that an organic apple can change your diet while protecting the environment? This versatile fruit, full of flavour and benefits, is an essential ally for your health and well-being. Find out in this article why organic apples should be part of your daily diet.
What are organic apples
Pesticide- and chemical-free apples
Organicapple are grown naturally, without chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. Unlike conventionally grown apples, which are often exposed to harmful substances, organic apples benefit from environmentally-friendly practices, such as the introduction of natural predators and the use of plant or mineral products. This guarantees apples with a purer taste and greater food safety.
Reduced environmental impact
Organic farming has a much lower environmental impact than conventional farming. It protects the soil and water tables, promotes biodiversity and preserves pollinators. What’s more, practices such as crop rotation and agroforestry help to limit CO2 emissions and combat climate change. By choosing organic apples, you’re supporting agriculture that respects the planet.
The health benefits of organic apples
Rich in vitamins and minerals
Organic apples are rich in essential nutrients such as fibre, vitamin C and potassium. These elements strengthen your immune system, improve digestion and contribute to the general health of your body.
Antioxidants and disease prevention
Rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids and polyphenols, organic apples help protect your cells against oxidative stress. These natural compounds help prevent cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, making organic apples an ideal choice for a healthy, balanced diet.

Fresh salads: Organic apples add crunch and freshness to salads, combined with rocket, walnuts and goat’s cheese. They go perfectly with a balsamic vinaigrette.
