Known for their taste and nutrition, apples are available in two types: red and green. So it is natural to be curious about which one is better

Green apples are sour in taste and have thick skin, which makes them crispier. Red apples, on the other hand, are sweet, juicy and have thin skin

Both types of apples are packed with healthy vitamins and minerals. They are rich in antioxidants, pectin, quercetin and flavonoids

Green apple is a better source of vitamins A, B, C, E and K as compared to its counterpart. It also contains more iron, potassium and protein than the red apple

Green apples can be better for people trying to shed kilos. If you are trying to reduce your overall sugar intake, then it is better to switch to green apples

Red apples, on the other hand, contain more antioxidants and are more delicious

Green apples are a more potent source of improving eyesight, boosting immunity, reducing the risk of acne, and supporting bone health
