FAQs about crab apples
Most varieties of crab apples are sour, but some taste very sweet, just like domestic apples. Others have slightly woody or smoky notes. You can use them for any dish where you would normally add apples, like pies, tarts, scones, green salads, and fruit salads. Since their small sizes make chopping them tedious, they're most popular for crab apple sauce, crab apple cider or juice, and crab apple jelly or jam. You can remove the seeds after cooking, pureeing, or juicing.
Crab apple preserves have a complex, slightly spicy flavor, and adding a small percentage of crab apples to apple cider will make the taste more pleasant. You can make crab apple butter by including cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg in crab apple sauce. In Southeast Asia, people often use crab apples to make condiments like sweet and sour sauce. You can pickle your crab apples or make crab apple cider vinegar as well.
Crab apples have low calories, high fiber, and lots of nutrients. They have more pectin than apples, and this substance can increase the health of beneficial gut bacteria, encourage weight loss, and prevent diarrhea. Crab apples also have vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants, potassium, iron, and phosphorous. Phosphorous helps maintain your bone density, and vitamin A prevents vision problems. Your immune system needs vitamin C, and antioxidants can help prevent heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, and many other health issues.
Like other apples, you shouldn't eat crab apple seeds because they contain small amounts of cyanogenic glycoside, a natural poison. However, you would need to eat a huge amount of crab apple seeds to jeopardize your health.
