Quercetin is an antioxidants also found in red wine and green tea. Quercetin has healthy antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Catechin is present in many dietary products, plants, fruits (such as apples, blueberries, gooseberries, grape seeds, kiwi, strawberries), green tea, red wine, beer, cacao liquor, chocolate and cocoa, to name just a few!
Phloridzin: The most bioactive phenolic compounds (flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids, dihydrochalcones) in apple are found in the peels and are closely associated with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial health-promoting properties.
Pure Safety
We know our apples! In fact, Mr Apple can trace each carton of apples back to the small block of land on the very orchard on which they were grown. This means that we can assure the safety of every box of apples we deliver.
News
Our apples start with blossom - growing in groups of 5 with another flower in the middle. Bees come to the orchard to pollinate the flowers and from that point, our apples begin to grow.
Pure Delight
Redness often means more antioxidants, and some of our varieties even have redness on the inside! This redness is an indication of even higher than normal antioxidant levels. You can see this on our Hawkes Bay apples as they grow in the natural sunshine.
