These boys are APPLE-HOLICS!!!








(These Carson pictures were taken last summer. Can you believe how blonde he was?!)

In case you were wondering...
  • The only apple native to North America is the crab apple.
  • Apples are grown in all 50 states.
  • Apples are a member of the rose family.
  • Archeologists have found evidence that humans have been enjoying apples since at least 6500 B.C.
  • The more apples a person eats, the lower his or her risk of developing lung cancer.
  • Two-thirds of the fiber and lots of antioxidants are found in the peel. Antioxidants help to reduce damage to cells, which can trigger some diseases.
  • Apples are a great source of the fiber pectin. One apple has five grams of fiber.
  • One medium apple contains about 80 calories.
  • Apples are fat, sodium, and cholesterol free.
