One of the favorite fruits of Quebecers and which is mostly available in various varieties all year round is, of course, the apple! Picking is a must-do activity for the family in the fall and you can also confirm when and where certain types of apples will be available in your area! All you have to do is consult  Pommes Qualité Québec website.

Depending on how you want to use it, each apple has its own properties. Whether for baking, to integrate into compotes, pies or to eat fresh, there is a variety for you! Consult this page to know their usefulness.

Did you know that apples eaten with the peel contain a high amount of quercetin, an antioxidant from the flavonoid family? Quercetin is said to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which appear to be beneficial on several levels for health, especially for the heart. Apples also contain fibers, including pectin, a soluble fiber that swells in the stomach and slows the passage of food through the intestine, promoting fullness while allowing better blood sugar control, which is beneficial for people with diabetes. As for insoluble fibers, they promote good intestinal regularity.
