In the case of DM2, scientists now know that pear flavonols (including isorhamnetin, quercetin, and kaempferol), flavan -3-ols (
especially epicatechin), and the anthocyanins (found in red - skinned varieties including Red Anjou, Red Bartlett, Comice, Seckel, and Starkrimson) all help improve insulin sensitivity.
These polyphenols include flavonols (especially quercetin, but also kaempferol and myricetin), catechins (
especially epicatechin), anthocyanins (if the apples are red - skinned), chlorogenic acid, phloridizin, and several dozen more health - supportive polyphenol nutrients.
Its eye - catching shape looks great in a fruit salad or as an edible garnish on the rim of a summer cocktail, and as an added bonus it's rich in antioxidants,
especially epicatechin — a heart - healthy compound also found in red wine, dark chocolate, and green tea.
