An Apple a Day

Wildfood and Recipes There are thousands of varieties of apples, from small, sweet and crisp to large fluffy and sour. Herbalists have long used apples in the treatment of digestive disorders. Generally to treat constipation, use raw apples and grate them for added effect. This helps to combat putrefaction in the gut and apple juice is even capable of destroying some viruses. Apples that are more acidic have a laxative effect. Grated apple added to mashed banana is a useful food for those with Coeliac disease.

For treating diarrhoea or gastritis, use stewed or baked apples with appropriate spices. Apple can even be used as a poultice for skin inflammation and its extracts are already used in the cosmetics industry to make shampoos and skin exfoliates. The smell of apples is also used in perfumes.

Apples and humans have a natural affinity and even the older varieties, such as crab apple (or wild apple) found a variety of uses in ancient times, such as cider, jams and jellies. Apples make an excellent accompaniment to fatty meats as the malic acid helps to break them down in the digestive process.  

The skin of an apple contains polyphenols that protect it from the oxidising rays of the sun. They are often rich in iron and potassium. They contain sorbitol, a natural sugar alcohol and fructose, which is metabolised more slowly than industrial sugars and sweeteners. The acidic juices of apples can help to keep teeth clean. Even the smell of apples has been found to lower blood pressure. They contain pectin (and other substances not identified) that help to lower the harmful LDL cholesterol and increase beneficial HDL cholesterol. Of course the humble apple is also high in antioxidant vitamin C – a whole medical treasure chest in one simple fruit.

Traditionally apples have always been dried for preservation but commercial versions of this are often exposed to sulphur fumes as part of the process. Apples were peeled and cored and hung on strings in the rafters in medieval times for preserving. Although they lose all their vitamin c during drying, dried apple is a useful source of quickly assimilated carbohydrates, which is why athletes often use it.

Out of season apples in supermarkets have often been stored in the cold with lowered oxygen levels, which has an effect on their overall ‘integrity’ as a food. The skins may well contain pesticide residues. Adopt an apple tree yourself, there are many varieties, even dwarf ones that stay small and grow big fruits. You can even find grafted apples trees that grow more than one variety on the same trunk. Apple jams, pies, cheeses, sauces and desserts are all ways to use this essential fruit.

SECRETS OF THE VALLEY (Episode 1: The Lily) by Simon Mitchell - Paperback / ebook - (Fiction)

Secrets of the Valley by Simon Mitchell

An ancient matrix of energy lies hidden in the earth, its existence and purpose all but forgotten. One strand, named ‘The Dragon Line’ passes through Cornwall, a land steeped in history and mystery since the dawn of time. Here the line passes through the valley of the River Fowey.

A lone ghost, abandoned in the valley of his birth, tells how the line of energy has been usurped, unbalancing the whole planetary energy matrix. In The Lily, the first novel of an extraordinary trilogy, we share his lives as he tells his tale of 2000 years in the Fowey valley. He sets a crucial task, to mend the Dragon Line and restore the balance of power, before time itself runs out.
