Some of the benefits of using Macha's Orchard Bramley Apple Powder

Regular consumption of apple powder can be associated with all sorts of benefits, such as living longer and more specifically, a lower risk of dying from cancer.

This apple powder is unique in that it is made from the peel and cores of Armagh Bramley apples. Weight for weight the peel contains a higher concentration of nutrients than the flesh of the apple. Likewise the cores contain a large amount of fibre especially the carpels.

Hidden inside the skin of an apple is an array of natural chemicals called phytonutrients, including vitamins and antioxidants that can have some exceptional health benefits. In fact, eating an apple with the peel on contains 50% more phytonutrients than a peeled apple. In Macha’s Orchard Apple Powder we
concentrate this goodness which can easily be incorporated into your normal diet. 

These phenolic compounds in apples are not evenly distributed in the fruit tissue. Weight for weight, the peel contains a significantly higher content of phenolics.

These phenolic compounds can offer numerous health benefits including acting as antioxidants, reducing inflammation (including chronic joint pain) and potentially protecting against chronic conditions such as cancer and heart disease.

Macha’s Orchard Armagh Bramley Apple Powder is packed full of nutrients that work hard to keep your body in top condition.

The high fibre content in this powder is of two types – Soluble and Insoluble. Soluble fibre dissolves in water, forming a gel-like substance that can help lower cholesterol and blood sugar, while insoluble fibre doesn’t dissolve and adds bulk to stool, aiding digestion and preventing constipation.

In addition to the fibre the apple peel content contains nutrients that support good gut bacteria, such as Akkermansia muciniphila. Akkermansia muciniphila helps maintain the gut lining and acts as prebiotic.

This powder is high in antioxidants. High levels of fibre and antioxidant intake is associated with reducing the risk of many diseases (including heart disease and certain cancers).

The evidence is clear – an apple a day really might keep the doctor away! Apples, including their peel, appear to play a key role in reducing your risk of developing chronic disease and helping you to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
