Quercetin is an antioxidants also found in red wine and green tea. Quercetin has healthy antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Catechin is present in many dietary products, plants, fruits (such as apples, blueberries, gooseberries, grape seeds, kiwi, strawberries), green tea, red wine, beer, cacao liquor, chocolate and cocoa, to name just a few!
Phloridzin: The most bioactive phenolic compounds (flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids, dihydrochalcones) in apple are found in the peels and are closely associated with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial health-promoting properties.

Redness often means more antioxidants, and some of our varieties even have redness on the inside! This redness is an indication of even higher than normal antioxidant levels. You can see this on our Hawkes Bay apples as they grow in the natural sunshine.
