In this class, we’ll explore the nutritional benefits of apples and how they may support heart health, help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, promote a healthy gut microbiome, and protect our cells from damage. You’ll learn what makes apples a nutrient-rich addition to a balanced diet and how to get the most nutritional value from this everyday fruit.
As part of the class, I’ll demonstrate how to make a delicious no-added-sugar apple chutney and share creative ways to use it as a flavorful condiment with a variety of meals.
The West Linn Public Library’s five year Strategic Plan will guide the library through 2030 and outlines the goals and priorities that will shape library services in the years ahead.
