Apple puree can be eaten raw or steamed, depending on the individual.

For healthy adults, in order to better absorb the nutrients of apples, it is generally recommended to eat apples directly raw, steamed apple puree to a certain extent will change the original texture and flavor of apple puree, and may also cause a certain degree of nutritional damage.

But people with weak gastrointestinal tracts, such as the elderly and infants, can also choose to eat the apple puree after steaming, to avoid the stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract caused by raw food, inducing abdominal discomfort.

Apple

Apple (Maluspumila? Mill.), is a deciduous tree, usually trees can be as high as 15 meters, but cultivated trees are generally only about 3-5 meters high. The trunks of the trees are grayish brown with some degree of bark loss. The flowering period of apple trees is based on the climate of each region, but is generally concentrated in April and May. Apples are cross-pollinated plants, and most varieties are unable to produce fruit from their own flowers.

The average apple begins to produce fruit 2-3 years after planting. The fruit is generally red in color, but depends on the variety. The fruit of the apple tree is rich in minerals and vitamins and is one of the most commonly consumed fruits.

The length of the fruit's growing period is generally 65-87 days for early-maturing varieties, 90-133 days for medium-maturing varieties, and 137-168 days for late-maturing varieties. Under normal circumstances, apples can have a lifespan of 15-50 years after planting.
