Health Store Apple Rings are soft and springy whole rings of real apple. Very tasty and not sickly sweet or over-acidic. Preservatives are often added to dried apples to stop them going dark. Preservatives also change the natural flavour of apple rings, making them taste more sugary and false. The preservative that is usually added is E220. These apple rings are doing just fine without the need of any additives, including E220. They have a very different taste from the standard apple rings. • Dried apple rings • Soft and chewy • Great for making your own snack mixes
