What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Yes, healthwise apples get a favourable press.

We have an apple tree (now on its last roots, sadly) and I found there was a substantial difference between eating a home-grown apple and an apple bought from a supermarket. Traditional English varieties like a crisp Cox's orange pippin have a kick to them, but modern cultivars such as gala and golden delicious have been selected for super sweetness and spike me in minutes.

I can no longer handle an apple as a snack. My solution is to incorporate apple peel into salads, when apple flavour and colour is required.
