Welcome to the Apple Garden Val Venosta

Household remedies

  • Strengthen the body’s defence
    The regular consumption of beetroot, rutabagas, apples and carrots particularly strengthen the body’s defence in the winter months.
  • Clean aluminum pots
    Aluminum pots can be easily cleaned if they are boiled with apple peels.
  • Apple juice as roast stock
    Have you ever tried apples juice as roast stock? Sear the meat and pour apple juice instead of water on it. We recommend a slightly acidulous and freshly squeezed juice.
  • Apple juice makes sauerkraut more delicate
    The taste of sauerkraut becomes more delicate if you add a little bit of apple juice.
  • Apple peels as tea
    Dry apple peels for preparing tea.
  • Don’t put away apple peels
    Dash apple peels with water and wait until the next morning. Enjoy the beverage with a bit of sugar or warm it up. It is an excellent substitute for the morning coffee, ideal for obese people and has a sedative effect.
  • Reduce the bitter taste of wild herbs
    The bitter taste of wild herbs can be reduced by putting them into lukewarm water for about 15 - 30 minutes before consumption. Also milk products such as quark, yogurt, cream etc., sugar or grated apples round off the taste.
  • Storing bread
    Bread dries out more slowly if you put raw potatoes or apple slices into the bread box.
  • Storing cakes and pastries
    For storing cakes, stullen and cookies we suggest a tin with an apple inside.
  • Tastier vegetables
    The taste of vegetables can be increased by adding an apple. The apple dissolves completely, while the vegetables become piquant and thick.
  • Hoarseness
    Baked apples with lots of sugar are good for hoarseness.
  • Cough syrup
    Sour apple juice which is boiled with sugar and fennel and then sipped is good for coughs.
  • Upset stomach
    If you have an upset stomach, you should keep to a strict diet and only drink peppermint tea and eat apples grated with their skin.
  • Migraine
    If you feel a migraine coming on, you should eat one or two apples and lie down.  A compress with raw onions or lemon slices on the forehead also alleviates migraine.
  • Natural tooth care
    If you chew a carrot or an apple per day, your teeth are cleaned naturally. This can also be helpful when travelling and if there’s no toothbrush at hand.
  • Give up smoking
    Giving up smoking is easier if you eat many apples.
  • Insomnia
    Tea made of apple peels is good for insomnia. Boil dried apple peels with water, sweeten with honey and drink 2 - 3 cups before bedtime.
  • Removing mucous congestion
    We suggest the following beverage for removing mucous congestion: mix the juice of an apple and the juice of a lemon with the double amount of water and sweeten with a tablespoon of honey.
  • Constipation
    A fig cure is good for constipation. In the evening, put the figs into a glass of water and then eat the figs and drink the glass of water in the morning. Baked apples and honey also help.
