HEALTH+WELLNESS

An apple a day keeps
that belly away…
A group of Kent apple growers have
combined forces to encourage health
conscious consumers to include a new
variety of English apple, Cameo, in their
post-Christmas diet plans.
The diet has been designed to allow
flexibility between choosing an
occasional low calorie meal to
maintain a healthy lifestyle or a
nutritious plan for long term weight
loss.
The Cameo apple growers have
worked with qualified dietician and
nutritionist Esther Roberts because
they want to draw attention to the
low fat content of apples at a time
of year when people often decide
to lose some weight. The Cameo
apple is ideal for a calorie conscious
start to the New Year because of
its unusually good ‘keeping quality’;

it maintains its flavour and texture
well into the spring when other
British apples can be hard to find.
Over 1,840 tonnes of Cameo apples
were harvested on family farms in
Kent this year. Newmafruits Ltd is
based in Canterbury and has 74
acres of Cameo apple orchards.
They supply their fruit to the Co-op,
Asda, Budgens, Tesco, Sainsbury’s
and Morrisons.
