The apple tree lives for an average of fifty years. Its deciduous leaves are serrated and oval-shaped and its highly fragrant spring flowers range from bright white to pinkish white. Once fertilised, they turn into a fleshy, seeded fruit: the apple. It is by far the best-known and most widespread fruit species in the world, with around 6,000 varieties worldwide. Their rich phytochemical composition gives them a number of properties, including a high hydration capacity, and helps to quench thirst (apples are an athlete's best friend). Recent scientific studies have highlighted its strong antioxidant power.
