Let us find out how to find the perfect apple in the store and how this fruit can be dangerous to your health. Market counters and supermarkets offer hundreds of varieties of apples, and experts say that even if the apples were processed from pests, there is nothing wrong with that, provided that you wash the apples well and eat them in small quantities.
An apple can be dangerous for people with seasonal blossom allergies. In this case, even one fruit can be life-threatening. But even if there is no allergy, apples treated with chemicals for long-term storage can cause negative reactions. Such fruits are easily visible; they are perfectly shaped and dazzle with their brilliance.
