The fennel and apple salad with dried fruit and cinnamon is a fruit salad: unusual, elegant, and tasty, it will conquer your guests.
Sweet and sour naturally, with lemon juice or vinegar and without added sugar.
Apples, present in our dietary scheme, are in the second group for sugar content in fruit.
I suggest choosing a crunchy and not mealy variety of apple.
In cases of hyperglycemia, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes, it’s important to consider the portion of fruit, in this case, apples, and the entire meal in which it is included.
