10 Impressive Health Benefits of Apples



Written by Kerri-Ann Jennings, MS, RD on December 17, 2018

Apples are one of the most popular fruits — and for good reason.

They’re an exceptionally healthy fruit with many research-backed benefits.

Here are 10 impressive health benefits of apples.



Apples Are Nutritious

A medium apple — with a diameter of about 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) — equals 1.5 cups of fruit. Two cups of fruit daily are recommended on a 2,000-calorie diet.

One medium apple — 6.4 ounces or 182 grams — offers the following nutrients (1Trusted Source):

Calories: 95

Carbs: 25 grams

Fiber: 4 grams

Vitamin C: 14% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI)

Potassium: 6% of the RDI

Vitamin K: 5% of the RDI

What’s more, the same serving provides 2–4% of the RDI for manganese, copper, and the vitamins A, E, B1, B2, and B6.

Apples are also a rich source of polyphenols. While nutrition labels don’t list these plant compounds, they’re likely responsible for many of the health benefits.

To get the most out of apples, leave the skin on — it contains half of the fiber and many of the polyphenols.
