Did you know that when you’re eating an apple, you may be eating more than you bargained for?

The other day one of my work colleagues was scraping an apple with a knife edge to see thick flakes of wax floating off the skin. Now I don’t know about you, but I’d rather pass on the apple wax in my diet.

Supermarket apples are glossy and shiny not necessarily because they are fresh and healthy, but because they are waxed, buffed and polished more than a Vogue covergirl.

Real fresh fruit and vegetables (that is, the stuff grown organically straight off a tree) may not look as perfect as the veg you find in your supermarket, but you can rest assured you won’t be getting a mouthful of surprises with every bite. In fact, the only surprise you will get is the amazing flavour, which is so much more intense and honest than you find in mass produced fruit and veg.

So even if it might cost a little more up front, try getting some organic produce in your diet. The amazing flavour will be worth the extra few cents.
