Some apples are healthier than others.

What’s your favorite apple? 

It’s probably not the healthiest one available. According to apple research the crabapple wins in the nutritional value department. They’re the highest in antioxidants. Here is the list of the healthiest apples from the best pick to the worst, nutritionally speaking:

1. Ida Red

2. Red Delicious

3. Honeycrisp

4. Granny Smith

5. Courtland

6. Braeburn

7. Gala

8. Empire

9. Golden Delicious

10. McIntosh

11. Fuji

12. Golden Nugget

The Fuji and Golden Nuggets have less than half the antioxidants than the top picks, Ida Red and Red Delicious. Of course none of this matters if you peel your apples because all of the good stuff is in the skin.
