Celebrity Chef Sabyasachi Gorai added, “An apple is a storehouse of nutrition and with that comes good health. I use Washington apples in salads, finely chopped or grated in yogurt, shakes, smoothies or breakfast cereal along with some nuts. Washington apples have their own natural sugar so there is no need for additional sugar, making the meal deliciously healthy. Other ways to enjoy Washington apples is to add them in sweet and savories and what excites my palate are those heavenly crumbles, pies and bakes using sumptuous apples.”
Mr. Manish Verma, Director, Grehlakshmi magazine added, “We are very pleased that Washington Apples have partnered with us to communicate the power and benefits of the #OriginalHealthFruit.
