Which is the best apple on the shelves of Lidl, Spar, CBA, and Tesco?
Apples, often overlooked as superfoods, are rich in vitamins and fiber, making them a versatile dietary choice. Despite their low glycemic index and calorie content, apple consumption in Hungary has halved over the past decades. The country has around 150 apple varieties, but production has concentrated in Szabolcs, with only a few varieties dominating the market. The rise of large food chains has limited the diversity of apples available, as they prefer consistent supply year-round. Different regions favor various apple types, with Hungary's favorites being Idared, Gala, and Golden. Storage issues also affect market availability, as some varieties are less suitable for long-term storage.
