Recipe: Soup of the Season

As the weather outside turns cooler, we tend to seek out comfort in hearty food. One of our favourites is a big bowl of Roasted Ambrosia Apple Soup. A blend of fall vegetables, savoury seasoning and delicious oven-roasted Ambrosias; it’s the perfect meal to ease you in to the changing season. Here’s the recipe. By the way, did you know that Stuart Klassen, featured in this video, is also a judge in this year’s contest?

Bite for Benefits

Did you know that every time you bite into an Ambrosia apple you’re getting a big dose of healthy benefits? Just one Ambrosia apple has 20% of your daily requirement of fibre and vitamin C. That’s just the start of the benefits. Apples also aid in digestion and are chock-full of antioxidants to help boost your immune system. And, when it comes to snacks, Ambrosias have sweet treats beat. Apples contain complex carbohydrates that offer sustained energy instead of a sugar-induced spike and crash. Now that’s a bite with a lot of benefits.
