Apple Sauce, Organic - Single Serving 6 pack
The apples in EDEN Organic Apple Sauce are organically grown on family owned orchards on the shores of the Great Lakes. One of the best tree fruit growing locations in the world due to the seasonal lake effect. After years of organic management, the healthy trees and soil in these beautiful orchards produce the most delicious apples we have tasted.
EDEN Organic Apple Sauce is made using traditional methods. Apples are hand sorted, washed, peeled, cored and put through a mill where they are sliced and chopped. A steam injection cooker cooks them into a thick sauce. It is strained and packed in convenient single serving cups with easy peel lids.
EDEN Organic Apple Sauce is simply organically grown apples, providing better flavor, better nutrition and peace of mind. It is fat free, very low in sodium, and contains no added sugar.
Most commercial apple sauce and apple sauce blends contain refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup made from genetically engineered corn, red dye, and often list 'natural flavors' in the ingredient statements that are extracted using the toxic petrochemical hexane gas. Compared to 30 years ago, American consumption of high fructose corn syrup has increased 4,000%. It is cheaper than sugar or other sweeteners, and is used widely in the commercial food industry. Many researchers are pointing to the increased consumption of high fructose corn syrup as a, if not the, major cause of obesity in the US.
Scientific research has found that apples and apple juice contain a wealth of phytonutrients that have been found beneficial to health. A study conducted at Minnesota's Mayo Clinic reported finding the "powerful antioxidant, quercetin, in apples and apple juice". Quercetin is one of the most potent antioxidant agents ever discovered, according to researchers. In the journal 'Nature', 2000, researchers at Cornell University reported that apple components had more antioxidant capability than a 1,500-milligram mega dose of vitamin C. "Scientists are interested in isolating single components such as vitamin C, vitamin E, or beta carotene to see if they exhibit antioxidant benefits", says Dr. Rui Hai Liu, at Cornell University. "It turns out that none of those work alone. It's the combination of flavonoids and polyphenols [antioxidant phytonutrients found in apples] doing the work."
It's good to be choosy when picking apples. The USDA has identified 35 insecticides, fungicides, and weed killers sprayed on apples, even though the Environmental Protection Agency considers them hazardous. Tests by the Environmental Working Group show that these chemicals do show up in supermarkets, so it is especially important to choose an organic apple you can trust. EDEN is a wise choice.
