Note
Total fat may be slightly higher than the sum of individual fat totals due to rounding or lack of available information (some food items in the software do not have an indicated breakdown of mono- and polyunsaturated fats).Menu Suggestions
Complements most formal or informal lunches and dinners as the crisp apples cleanse the palate. Also a good addition to a picnic, but needs to be kept cold.Presentation Ideas
