Do apples lose their healthy properties when baked?
Many people think that heat treatment kills nutrients. But this is not entirely true.
Of course, the content of vitamin C will decrease, but the amount of pectin per 100 g of the final product will be even higher, as part of the water evaporates.
For many diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as gastritis, patients are prescribed apples only in baked form. They do not cause fermentation in the intestines, so they are recommended for feeding young children, in the postoperative period, to eliminate dysbiosis and to lower cholesterol levels.
