Apples, eating, raw, flesh and skin

Eating apples are fruit, and these figures describe the raw flesh and skin. They mainly provide water and carbohydrate, with small amounts of fibre and protein. Per 100g, they contain 12g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 1.2g of fibre and 6mg of vitamin C. Their energy content is 215 kJ per 100g.

The sugars in whole apples occur naturally within the fruit rather than being added. Fibre supports normal bowel function, while vitamin C contributes to normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Raw apples contain little fat or saturated fat. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (22 samples, autumn and winter, UK grown and imported, pre-packed and loose, including Gala, Braeburn, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, Cox and Granny Smith). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
