At the recent Female Competition International October 2, 2021 event at the San Francisco Airport Hyatt Hotel, as we witnessed great female grappling, one of the aspects to the women that stood out was how fit they were and how healthy they eat.
That thinking was consistent across the board.
And the mats.
One of the healthiest foods of choice is fairly predictable and understandable.
The glorious apple.
Apples have been with civilization so long and are so easy to purchase that sometimes we might take them for granted.
We shouldn’t.
Their health values, including filling up our intestines in a healthy way to curb our appetite, is invaluable.
The respected team at webmd.com share:
Scientists also give apples credit for helping:
- Your lung strength
- Your heart
- With asthma
- Bone health
- Weight loss
- Your brain (easing symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and age-related memory loss)
- Your immune system
- Your gut health
Good to know.
Here is more.
Apple trees are cultivated worldwide and are the most widely grown species in the genus Malus. The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, is still found today. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe.
Apples grown from seed tend to be very different from those of the parents, and the resultant fruit frequently lack desired characteristics.
The proverb, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away", addressing the supposed health benefits of the fruit, has been traced to 19th-century Wales, where the original phrase was "Eat an apple on going to bed, and you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread". v
Very clever.
We have found an apple producer that not only supplies healthy apples, they taste great too.
You should meet them.
And always remember, an apple dining escape, keeps a beautiful female grappler in great shape.
RubyFrost™ Apples Are Back: Tart, Sweet, More Beautiful Than Ever
Thirty-five Percent Crop Volume Increase, Brand Refresh Ahead of Fall Harvest Season

LOCKPORT, N.Y., Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Crunch Time Apple Growers, a New York State-based cooperative of 152 member-growers, announced this season it will deliver 175,000 bushels (a 35 percent year-over-year increase) of its flavorful premium apple variety: RubyFrost™. The unmistakably tart but sweet flavor of RubyFrost apples is back, and soon to be available in select produce aisles, with wider distribution expected in Q1 2022.
Ripe for the opportunity to continue making a name for itself in the competitive premium apple category, Crunch Time undertook a complete brand refresh for RubyFrost apples during its off-season. The overhaul includes an enhanced logo and branding retailers and consumers will begin seeing on packaging, promotional materials and beyond.
"The RubyFrost brand refresh will be transformative this season, and for many to come. We took the time to focus on what it is that consumers love about RubyFrost — the tart flavor profile, perfect size, beautiful ruby red color and versatility of use — and visually accentuated those attributes," said Jessica Wells, executive director, Crunch Time Apple Growers.
What's more? Crunch Time will be expanding its distribution reach this harvest season with three new sales partners: Applewood Fresh Growers LLC, Rice Fruit Company and Riveridge Produce Marketing, Inc. These new packers and shippers will allow Crunch Time Apple Growers to expand its geographic reach among existing grocers and new retail partners, particularly in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Greater reach converts to greater access for consumers to buy and enjoy RubyFrost apples on a consistent basis.
"For those who prefer a less sweet, more balanced taste, RubyFrost is the perfect apple. It combines sugar and acidity to offer a beautifully sweet but tart flavor profile that's packed full of vitamin C so it doesn't brown quickly," said fifth-generation farmer Joel Crist of Crist Bros. Orchards Inc. and Crunch Time Apple Growers board chair. "The brand refresh is exactly what we needed to spotlight the appeal of RubyFrost to tart apple lovers for the 2021-2022 season, and beyond."
Developed, nurtured and bred by Dr. Susan Brown of Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, RubyFrost is grown commercially in Upstate New York. Dr. Brown strategically developed the apple — creating a tart flavor profile appealing to about 30 percent of consumers, a versatile apple perfect for cooking, baking and topping salads and naturally non-browning due to high vitamin C.
Its East Coast roots provide the variety a competitive advantage over West Coast premium apples: cost-effective transportation to primary selling regions, greater freshness, quality and, ultimately, lower shelf prices.
