class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Are Red Delicious Apples High In Carbs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who follow a low-carb diet often avoid apples and opt for berries instead, but if you want to stay low-carb and still eat apples, small green apples such as Granny Smith are a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Red delicious are a large, sweet, apple variety that will blow the carb budget if you eat a whole one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you&rsquo;re on a low-carb diet and trying to stay under 50g of carbs per day, a large red delicious would take up the majority of this budget at over 30g net carbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re not on a low-carb diet, a red delicious is still an excellent choice for those following a healthy diet because they&rsquo;re packed with nutrients such as vitamin C and they&rsquo;re high in fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you&rsquo;ve found the answer you were looking for on this page; here&rsquo;s a quick rundown of the key points: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Red delicious apples are one of the highest-carb apple choices because they tend to be heavier and therefore contain more carbs than a lighter apple.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If you&rsquo;re on a low-carb diet and you can&rsquo;t live without apples, opt for a small green apple such as a Granny Smith or golden delicious instead of a large red apple.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If carb content isn&rsquo;t an important factor in your way of eating, red delicious are a healthy choice because their high in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-group has-base-2-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2>Related
