Applesauce that's low in sugar and free of artificial colors and flavors is a healthy and nutritious serving of fruit.
Why is applesauce bad for you?
Applesauce is a low-fat source of vitamins, and can serve as a sweet, nutritious snack between meals. While applesauce, and apples in general, are high in sugar, these sugars occur naturally in the fruit. Sweetened varieties contain added sugars, typically in the form of high fructose corn syrup or corn syrup.
Is applesauce poisonous?
Applesauce may seem harmless, but prepackaged applesauce may be filled with chemicals and preservatives that a whole apple wouldn't have. On the other hand, if you're fixing homemade applesauce and your cat takes a lick or two, it won't have any harmful effects, as pureed foods are easier to digest for cats.
How much applesauce is too much?
Going above 70 grams is considered going overboard. Though for that one needs to eat 15 apples, it's important to keep in mind the other sources of fibre in your daily diet. So, if you are having a healthy diet with more than two apples a day, it can lead to some serious digestive troubles.
Can applesauce be eaten raw?
Not only is it delicious (think apple cider in solid form), raw applesauce contains all of the benefits of fresh apples, like digestive enzymes and naturally occurring good bacteria. By keeping the peels on you're also adding fiber, vitamins, and minerals (as most of those are in the skin).
