"A 12th century organically grown apple called Pendragon has higher levels of health- giving plant compounds than modern non organically grown rivals, such as Golden Delicious, Royal Gala and Cox. From peel to core, the mighty Pendragon outperformed 14 other pipsqueak competitors, pharmacist Michael Wakeman told delegates at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's annual event, the British Pharmaceutical Conference, in Manchester.Which is why the lifespan in Medieval England catapulted to about 33 years.
'Of all the organic varieties, Pendragon was the best apple variety and contained 7 of the 8 kinds of healthy components at the highest levels. In contrast, the non-organic apples consistently had low levels and less major healthy components in both the flesh and the peel,' said Wakeman."
Good job Pendragon.
