Organic Dried *no-wax* APPLE Rings

Always in season, naturally diverse, multiple apple varieties and uneven sizes. Depending on the harvest, they can include unique to New Zealand exquisite taste varietals (eg Malus pumila 'Gala' × 'Splendour' sciros (with rootstock MM116, USPP18618P2) and others).

Always grown in a terroir [terratorium] of more actinism sunlight, "less pollution, less pests and diseases" in Nelson's rich mineral ('Ophiolite Belt') organic soils. Certified organic [1] [2] and slowdried (ie NO glyphosate accelerated drying) [3] to preserve the phytonutrient [salubrity] health benefits. A really robust product with no bruising and packed in various sizes to suit.

A non-diluted, natural source of rutin (0.22mg/100g) [common/vernacular names: quercetin-3-rutinoside, rutoside, eldrin, and sophorin], a citrus-free bio-flavonoid. Rutin has been reported to have many pharmacological properties [4]. However, it is "no longer official" as a botanical drug in the National Formulary (N.F. XIV) yet widely used in nonprescription pharmaceutical preparations. An interesting situation of "medicine as food" rather than "food as medicine" [5][6].

P.S. Interesting apple "of discord" reference where the golden apple contended for by Juno, Minerva, & Venus was a "cause of dissension" (ref: Pocket Oxford, 4th ed)

P.S.S. Phytochemical: WAX is non-ubiquitous, insoluble dietary fiber, naturally occurring in certain plant parts (ref: USDA Phytochemical Database e-pub. '16). Commercial "E907 wax, refined, microcrystalline is prepared by the heavy fraction of petroleum by dewaxing or deoiling methods...chewing gum ingredient; polishing or release agent; also stiffening agent and for tablet coating" (ref: Additive Code Breaker by M. Hanssen pub. 1984). Another type of "wax coating" (shellac or carnauba-based wax incl./excl. morpholine) "is common practice for conventional apples" [nb. NOT the cert. organic Aztec FUJI apples (PVR APP118) and other multi-varietals found in "EATRIGHT® Organic Apple" packs]...to "slow down apple respiration, reduce moisture loss" [seals in water weight] ... to "extend shelf-life" [but also ADds wax weight] ... responsible for "glossiness" (ref: Fate of Listeria innocua on wax-coated FUJI apple surfaces (pub. Apr'23). Where wax v.i. grow larger...as metaphor from this; w. & wane, undergo alterations of increase & decrease; crispate a. (bot.) with curled or wavy MARGIN [L crispus curled] (ref: Dictionary, OX, '52).
