Dried apples
If you are an athlete seeking energy-dense food, dried apples provide light, portable, healthy snacking. If you are interested in losing weight or reducing calories, you might be better off eating fresh apples.
The practice of drying apples traditionally existed to extend the shelf life of the fruit, though many people enjoy the more intense flavor and chewy texture. Made by blowing dried air over cored apple slices, drying removes most of the water, making it a very nutrient dense food.
These apples are dried without being peeled previously. It is well known that the majority of the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients found in apples actually reside in the peel.Apple peels are packed with vitamins A and C and important minerals, such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus, folate and iron. Your body uses minerals like calcium and phosphorus to maintain strong bones and teeth. Potassium helps promote proper cell, heart and digestive function. Iron helps your body regulate cell growth and produce healthy red blood cells. Apple peels are a good source of many vitamins and minerals, and they also are completely free of other less healthy compounds like sodium, cholesterol and fat. Dried apples are a significant source of soluble fiber, especially pectin. In human digestion, pectin binds to cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract and slows glucose absorption by trapping carbohydrates. Pectin is thus a soluble dietary fiber.
