Apples

Our regional apples taste good and are extremely healthy. Most of the vitamins are found in the peel so this should be eaten with the fruit. Apples are rich in vitamins C, E, B1, B2 and B6 in addition to iron and iodine. There are more than 7,500 varieties of apple with various colours and flavours. In Altes Land, Germany’s largest concentrated fruit-growing region, around 300,000 tonnes of fruit are collected during the apple harvest every year.
