If you're caught short without a toothbrush, then have a fresh apple! The natural crispiness of raw apples help stimulate the gums and clean the teeth. You should call them nature's toothbrush. Eaten often they help make an important contribution to the diet as they contain valuable minerals and vitamins so necessary for good health. To maintain top quality in the apples you buy, store them at home in the fridge in perforated plastic bags or the crisper section. This helps them maintain the proper humidity and also prevents the absorption of other food flavors. Baskets of apples should be stored in a cool room at about 32 to 40F and covered with a perforated plastic wrap. As well as helping to supply the minerals and vitamins you require every day, apples are also a natural low calorie snack. One medium apple contains only about 70 calories. So think fresh apples the next time you pass the fruit section of your store. They'll be plentiful all winter.
