An apple a day keeps the doctor away is an old familiar saying. But, this immunity increasing fruit cannot be included at any time of the day.
As per studies, you should eat an apple in the morning hours. This is because apples are rich in dietary fiber, pectin, which is found in its peel. Since most people have digestive issues due to improper sleep or late eating habits, apples right in the morning, after waking up is a good idea. Thus, eating an apple in the morning can stimulate your bowel movement better than any other fruit.
Secondly, pectin can also help protect lactic acid and help the bacteria present in it grow better in the colon. This will further help in a healthier digestive tract. Other than this, pectins in apples can help get rid of toxins as it leads to the elimination of carcinogens, a substance responsible for producing cancer.
If you eat apples at night or in the evening, this pro-digestive fruit can turn against you and load on your intestinal functions. This means apples at night will produce gas and make you severely uncomfortable during the wee hours.
Also, the organic acid in apples can increase the stomach acid more than the normal level and can come in the way of your bowel movements.

đąSauce Mix together 2 tablespoons soy sauce/tamari, 1/2 tablespoon thick dark soy sauce (for color), 1/2 tablespoon sugar & 3 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine/sherry/broth in a bowl & set aside.âŁâŁ
âŁ
â
Place batter ingredients in a large mixing bowl & stir to combine. The batter should be thick like a pancake batter.âŁ
â
Dredge florets in batter, shake off excess & fry until golden brown (temperature 375F/190°C & I used a small saucepan). Then drain on paper towels.âŁ
â
Alternatively, grease a baking sheet pan with oil, place coated florets on the pan. Brush florets with oil & bake at 485F/âŁ
250°C until light golden brown for about 20-25 mins, be sure to flip halfway. For the last few minutes, broil to get a crispier ure (oven time varies)âŁ
âŁâ
To make the sauce, in a heated non-stick pan with 2 teaspoons oil, sautĂŠ onion until translucent. Then add garlic, bell pepper, chili & continue to sautĂŠ until fragrant. Slowly pour in the sauce & cook to reduce it slightly. Please adjust the sauce based on the cauliflower's size.âŁ
â
Finally, add the cauliflower florets, cashews & quickly toss them with the sauce until all incorporated. Serve with rice for a delicious meal.âŁ
*Please be sure to dry florets well before coating or the liquid will slowly thin down
