What is this food?
Green apple (about 100g). It’s a crunchy fruit—sweet-tart, usually eaten as a snack or dessert.
Why it matters to health
Green apple can help you feel full because it has dietary fiber (3g) and some natural sweetness from sugar (10.4g). The fiber supports healthy digestion and can help balance your meals. It also has very little fat (0.1g) and almost no sodium (4mg), which makes it a good everyday option. Since it still contains natural sugars, it’s best to enjoy it in the right portion—especially if you’re having it alongside other sweet snacks.
Healthier tips
- For snacks: pair 1 small apple (or ~100–150g) with plain yogurt or a handful of nuts to make it more filling.
- If you’re eating it with rice or bread, keep the apple as the fruit portion (not extra sweets) so your total carbs stay balanced.
- Try eating it with the skin for more fiber.
- Choose whole apple over juice to keep more fiber and reduce how fast sugar hits your body.
