Granny Smith Apple - How Many Calories?

How many calories are in a Granny Smith apple?

Raw Granny Smith apple with skin provides 58 kcal per 100 g of edible fruit. USDA's medium reference is 167 g edible weight, giving 97 kcal; its 144 g small-apple reference gives 84 kcal. Core and stem are excluded. If your apple differs in size, use its actual edible weight rather than treating every apple as one standard serving.

Fiber, sugar and the value of eating the fruit

Per 100 g, the fruit with skin supplies 2.8 g fiber and 9.59 g total sugar. A 167 g apple supplies about 4.68 g fiber, 22.73 g carbohydrate and 16.02 g naturally occurring sugar. That fiber contribution is a practical reason to include Granny Smith in your fruit choices. Its tart taste does not make it sugar-free, and total carbohydrate is not the same measure as total sugar. Water also accounts for much of the fruit's weight.

One apple does not cover an entire day's fiber needs. Two apples of this reference size provide about 9.35 g fiber; vegetables, pulses and whole grains can contribute further variety. These figures do not establish a disease treatment, a fat-burning effect or superiority over every other apple variety. Use equal edible weights when comparing the sugar and fiber figures for Golden Delicious. If you track carbohydrate for a meal plan, the amount eaten matters more than the green color.

Fuji apple provides 11.68 g sugars and 2.1 g fibre at the same 100 g edible skin-on weight. Keep weights equal when comparing cultivars; a large apple and a small apple can give different totals.

Making room for an apple in a meal

Slice it into plain yogurt or oats. The apple contributes fruit and fiber, while yogurt adds protein; account separately for nuts, honey or other additions. Do not use the raw-apple table for juice, dried apple or sweetened pie filling. Juicing, drying and added recipe ingredients change what an equal weight contains.

Rinse the apple under running water before cutting it, even if you intend to peel it. Do not wash it with soap or detergent. The fiber figure on this page is for fruit with skin and should not be assigned unchanged to a peeled apple.

Reference limits

USDA SR28 record 09502 identifies raw Granny Smith with skin, rather than an average of all green apples. Growing conditions and ripeness can affect an individual fruit. Vitamin A is 5 µg RAE per 100 g, distinct from 100 IU. Vitamin C and cholesterol are not reported in this record and remain unknown. The washing guidance follows FDA's fresh-produce advice.
