An Apple Contains 10 Crore Bacteria

Apples are considered very good for our health. It is also said that, "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away". Now new studies have revealed the shocking details associated with it. Researchers claim that in addition to fiber and vitamins, one apple contains 10 crore bacteria. Whether these bacteria are good for health or bad, depends on how the apple is grown.

Organic apples are better, according to a study published in the Frontier in Microbiology journal. Organic apples contain different and more balanced bacterial communities than traditional apples. These apples can be more beneficial as well as more tasty. And also make the environment better.

"The bacteria, fungi and viruses that we eat, gets together in our stomach," said Gabriel Berg, a professor at Austria's Gaz University of Technology. Most of these microorganisms get destroyed because of cooking. Therefore, raw vegetables and fruits are an important source of microbes.
