Fall in Love with Colorado Apples

This February, we are falling in love with the Colorado apples. Apples rank among the top three fruits produced around the world. They are easy to store and transport, and as a result, are typically available year-round in the U.S.  Apples are rich in quercetin and pectin, both of which are credited for supplying apples with their health benefits.
