AN APPLE a day keeps the doctor away, the old saying goes. Sadly, the opposite might be true, as it has revealed just how far apples have gone from their natural state.

Apples naturally develop a coat of wax when they are growing to help protect the fruit and to retain moisture and therefore firmness of the apple. Once picked, the apples are cleaned, some of the natural wax is then washed away, also removing the shine it had.

A coating of wax will help seal the moisture, therefore extending the life of the fruit. Waxed apples look so new and fresh that you wouldn't know the difference between a fresh one and one that is a year old!

Another method to avoid the wax is to peel the skin off and then eat the apple. However, not many recommend this as you might be losing out on all the nutrients and especially, the fiber which is packed in the apple skin. Remember to wash the apples with clean water several times before you finally consume them.

Finally we can say, not everybody is a gardener or can buy organic. If you’re a Foodie, you must be aware of these. Have you known of any other wax fruit decoration that deserved to be here? Let us know in the comment section.
