Green vs. Red Apples: Same Nutrition, Different Flavors

Green and red apples are varieties of the same species; color differences come from pigments, with green apples typically tart and lower in sugar, while red apples are sweeter. Both offer fiber, vitamin C, potassium and antioxidants, and nutritional differences are minor, so choose based on taste and dietary goals. For maximum benefits, eat the peel and watch portions if you’re managing diabetes or digestive sensitivity.
