Apples are part of the rose family, along with plums and pears, and one of the most widely consumed fruits in the world. In Sweden, we have around 13 varieties, some with traditional Swedish names such as 'Ingrid-Marie' and 'Frida', and all of them are rich in antioxidants and healthy fruit sugar, which makes this fruit a healthy and wonderfully nutritious snack, as well as being an excellent ingredient for cosmetics, as its sugar and acid content helps to protect, moisturise and promote skin exfoliation.

Nutritionally, apples consist of approximately 10 per cent carbohydrates, 4 per cent vitamins and minerals and more than 80 per cent water!
