Each apple contains up to 100 million beneficial bacteria for health

Scientists compared organic apples and regular apples and found that 'newly harvested' apples contained significantly more beneficial bacteria than regular apples.

According to a study by scientists at the Technical University of Graz (Austria) recently published in Frontiers in Microbiology magazine, each apple contains more than 100 million bacteria.

It seems to make people frightened, but these are very beneficial bacteria for human intestines.

According to the study, the bacteria are mainly concentrated in the seeds and flesh of the apple.

Biologist Gabriele Berg, a project researcher, said the diversity of bacteria is 'the spice of life'.

The beneficial bacteria, fungi and viruses in food will temporarily stay in our gut, they are very important for human digestive system, help the digestive system be healthy and well tolerated. more with intestinal diseases.

Cooking will make most beneficial bacteria die, so fresh vegetables are an important source of beneficial bacteria for humans.

Scientists have also compared two types of apples, organic apples and regular apples . The results showed that both types of apples have the same number of beneficial bacteria.

However, 'newly harvested' organic apples contain beneficial bacteria that are significantly more diverse than regular apples.

Therefore, scientists believe that organic apples will be better for humans, at least for our gut.
