Day of the Apple

One just can't always be ahead of the wave and there are causes worth to support even when you are late. Yesterday, Switzerland was celebrating the Day of the Apple. Toño and I are celebrating today. Only one tiny litte day behind schedule.

We are celebrating with a bottle of sparkling Gravenstein cider, two different home-made apple cakes and huge bowl with four different varieties of seasonal apples. Cheers mates!



Why should one celebrate the Day of the Apple. Let's cite a leaflet, I received in a shop yesterday:

Apple - The Healthy All-Rounder

Apples are low-calorie, vitamin-rich energy supplies and thirst appeasers:

• A middle sized apple (100 g) contains only 50 calories.
• Besides of fruit acid and fibres an apple contains loads of vitamins (C, E, B-complex) and more than twenty different essential minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus.
• 85% of an apple consists of water, hence apples are great to appease your thirst
• The natural fructose provides readily utilisable energy.

Never forget, an apple a day keeps the doctor away! Even when you're late, you should not hesitate to join the movement.
