Healthy, because
We cannot eat enough ginger, because the secondary plant substance gingerol protects us from flu-like infections. In addition, the apple chutney with apples scores with quercetin, the flavonoid with its antioxidant potential protects our body cells from free radicals and keeps us young and fit.
Even smarter
For a longer shelf life, pour the apple chutney into glasses previously boiled in boiling water (at least ten minutes). This way you can keep the spicy, sweet-sour sauce for about six months. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and use up quickly. The apple chutney tastes great with grilled food, meat dishes such as roast beef, fish and cheese or on a freshly grilled focaccia.
