Apple trees in spring, Germany Apr 13, 2024

In this picturesque orchard, spring heralds the blossoming of apple trees.

Each type boasts its unique flavour profile, from the tangy Granny Smith to the sweetness of Fuji. These fruits are rich in dietary fibre, antioxidants and essential vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin K, promoting overall health and well-being.
