A pound of apples costs about $2, usually less. For that you get around 10 grams of dietary fiber, or nearly half of the daily recommended intake, plus substantial amounts of vitamin C and potassium. Not the cheapest thing on the shelf (vs cabbage/beans), but with convenience and taste factored in it can be a very practical choice.
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoAnd how expensive are, say, carrots? Apples here are 2 eu per kilogram. Carrots are the same price out of season, and carrot season is coming. From what I can tell, carrots beat apples on most benchmarks, except for having to prepare the things. If dietary fiber is your concern, switch to brown rice and eat some more. I have no clue what typical vegetable or fruit prices are in the US, but both here and in most Asian cultures known for low obesity rates, fruit is more expensive than alternatives. I don't expect mass produced fruit to break the bank, but realistically it's one of the larger costs.
