Hungry Girl Today: 1.22.10
Today we honor our very favorite fruit with its own edition of Hungry Girl
Salutes! It's portable, crunchy, and DELICIOUS. Without further ado, we
bring you... THE FUJI! Yayayayayay!
What Is It?
Fuji Apple
PER SERVING (1 medium apple): 95 calories, <0.5g fat, 2mg sodium, 25g
carbs, 4.25g fiber, 19g sugars, 0.5g protein -- POINTS® value 1*
A cross between Red Delicious and Virginia Ralls Genet, the Fuji originated in
Fujisaki, Japan. And just so you know, it's not like we spun the mythical
Wheel of Apples one day, landed on "Fuji," and claimed it as our favorite.
We've tried ALL kinds of apples. Some are extra-sweet, some super-tart,
some crunchy, some soft... Fujis have that perfect blend of all the things we
like in an apple: crispness, a nice balance of sweet and tart, and the ability to
work perfectly in just about any recipe (that calls for apples). GO, FUJIS!
Reasons to Love the Fuji!
First-Place Flavonoid Champion - Our friend the Fuji has more flavonoids
than any other apple out there. And research suggests these flavonoids could
reduce the risk of heart attack and heart disease by a whopping 20%. Which
is convenient, since we HEART apples.
Fantastic Freeze-Dried or Baked to a Crisp - We're not suggesting you
attempt this at home. Instead, pick up some Brothers-All-Natural Fuji Apple
Fruit Crisps or Bare Fruit Fuji Apple Chips. Mmmmmm!!!
Super-Long Shelf Life - Or so we're told. Frankly, our Fujis never sit around
for very long before CHOMP... they're gone.
Total Trendsetter - Umm, hello?! How many fruits do you know that have
hybrid-esque offspring like the Grapple? So cool, it even made it into HG's
very first email!
Hampers Hunger - Not only does munching on a Fuji satisfy a snack itch for
less than 100 calories, but some experts say it can curb your appetite and
cause you to take in fewer calories throughout the rest of the day. So just
chew it!
BFFs!
Acceptable pals for your apples to hang with...
The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss Cheese - Fujis are SO down with The
Cow. It might seem like a slightly odd combo, but spread some of this
cheese on your apple slices, and you'll be SOLD.
Light or Low-Fat Caramel Apple Dip - This one's kind of a "duh" pairing, but
it's too good NOT to mention. Who doesn't dream of slathering chunks of
apple with gooey, creamy, dreamy caramel!?! Crazy LOONS, that's who!
Reduced-Fat Peanut Butter - PB and apples are a classic duo. Peanut butter
is a little fat-and-calorie dense, though, even the reduced-fat kind. But a little
can go a LONG way, so don't just go dunking your apple spears into a tub of
nut butter! Smear a tablespoon of the fat-slashed kind over a medium
apple's worth of slices, and you've got a deliciously filling super-snack for
under 200 calories and about 6.25g fat (POINTS® value 4*). Sweet!
Apple-y Ever After...
Recipe round-up time!
Awesome Apple Pie-lets - How can you go wrong with a handful of APPLE
PIE?!
Chunky Apple-Cinnamon Muffins - Super-delicious morning treats. Make a
batch NOW!
Party-in-a-Pitcher Sangria - That's right. We even put Fujis in our cocktails.
We're crazy like that.
Lucky 4-Leaf Salad w/ Feta & Apples - On a salad? With salty cheese? HELLO,
tasty!
3-Cheese Bacon-Apple-Bella Frittata - Bet you never thought of putting
apples in an egg dish. Good thing WE did...
Apple iCobbler - A classic fruit dessert without the classic fat content!
Sweet 'n Chunky Chicken Salad - Don't look at us funny. Apples are GREAT
in chicken salad. You'll see...
Hungry for More Apple Action?!
Looking for a cookbook with an entire CHAPTER devoted to the Fuji apple? It
just so happens that WE MADE ONE! Pick up a copy of Hungry Girl 200 Under
200 -- in stores everywhere and available online -- and explore fun foods
like Fuji Fritters, Caramel Apple Tartlets, and MORE. It'll make eating
that "apple a day" a little more interesting and a lot more fun!
