June 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Fuji apple is an apple cultivar which is a cross between two American apple varieties, the Red Delicious and Ralls Janet bred at a Japanese research station.

Fuji contains between 15 to 18 percent sugar and has a dense flesh, making it sweeter and crispier than many other apple varieties. Fuji also has a very long shelf life compared to other apples even without refrigeration.

It is excellent for fresh eating, very good for salads, pies, baking and freezing.

Therapeutic use: Fuji apples have a high amount of flavonoids, in particular one called quercitin. This greatly reduces the risk of heart attack and heart disease, by as much as 20 percent according to a recent study in Finland. It also contains Vitamin C, helps greatly reduce cholesterol levels which protects the heart and arteries. Apples get their sweet taste from a natural sugar known as fructose. Along with the fiber in a fuji apple, the fructose breaks down slowly, which helps to maintain a low blood sugar level.
