Green apples have all the same properties as other apples, with some advantages: fewer carbohydrates and greater fluid absorption, which promotes better bowel function and, therefore, helps with weight loss. Therefore, they're highly recommended in salads and in the preparation of green detox juice, which, as the name suggests, is a great detoxifier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Green apple calories: This variety is low in calories (on average 83 calories per 100g), combined with pectin, which reduces fat absorption by the body, helping with weight loss.
