Old apple varieties are often well tolerated by allergy sufferers - what you need to pay attention to. Over three million people in Germany are affected by allergic reactions to apples.

The main allergen in apples is called “Mal d 1” - its content in an apple is also determined by the quality of the soil in which the tree grew, its health or the climate of the respective year. Whether an apple was grown organically or conventionally and, if necessary, sprayed has nothing to do with its allergenic content.
