Researchers from Washington State University, in the United States, analyzed seven varieties of the fruit, and the green apple, especially the Granny Smiths type, proved to have the highest fiber and polyphenol content – ​​antioxidants with anti-inflammatory action and, therefore, able to prevent inflammatory processes associated with obesity. “All types of apple bring benefits. Now knowing that the green one can be even better for weight loss, it is worth including this variety more frequently in everyday life”, suggests nutritionist Sonja Salles, from Rio de Janeiro.

Not everyone is a fan of the sour taste of green apples. But you can add it to some recipes and thus include it frequently in your diet. Nutritionist and fructommellier (specialist in the combination of fruits and vegetables), Sonja Salles gives some suggestions.

Beat the green apple with cabbage to prepare the green juice. Do not skip the peel – it is the part of the fruit that concentrates the highest amount of fiber and polyphenols.

Cut the fruit into cubes or thin slices and add to the salad. It blends very well with varied leafy greens.
