Health benefits: Quercetin, the superman of antioxidants, fights both blood clots and cancer. Pectin, not to be outdone, helps to lower blood cholesterol levels and remove cancer-causing toxins from the bloodstream.
Looks like the snake in the Garden of Eden may have been onto something — an apple a day may just keep the grim reaper away.
The best way to eat them: Just like Eve did: raw, with its peel intact, since the apple’s skin is what contains the quercetin.
2- Avocados
