Apple - forbidden fruit

Everything has a wild ancestor, and the apple tree, which originated in the mountains of Central Asia, is Malos Severi. It is not surprising that this species still exists today and apples have been thriving for tens of thousands of years. Nutritious, delicious and extremely versatile, they are the mainstay of life around the world. Although often referred to as "forbidden fruit", no one takes it seriously. In France, Henry VII was willing to pay the top dollar (make this top franc) for apples, and his son Henry VIII kept his own orchard with multiple varieties. It seems that Catherine the Great challenged the golden apple of Pippin and brought them to her palace in Russia. (When you are queen, you can ask for anything.)
Across the pool, another queen, Victoria, was miles to the apple bread. She hired an expert incubator to raise her own species alone, and as a result of her passion, the popularity of apples exploded during her reign (Victoria England in the mid-nineteenth century). Vegetarians and growers sought to create more varieties for both eating and, of course, that ever popular cider, eager to name the newest types after their employers, is usually a member of the royal family. Popular fruit was sold in the streets of baskets and carts, both in the United States and abroad, especially during the Depression.
Apple came to America with the first colonists, who founded Jamestown in 1607. Knowing that they needed to start farming immediately, they brought apple seeds and the mind to grow orchards for the settlers. Although some English varieties did not adapt well to Virginia soil, the new and richer fruit was produced not only for food but for sweet apple juice, which was a staple of its diet (preferably fermented). Solid trees prospered and multiplied during the 1600s, helping to feed the first generations of America. As the United States formed its new government, a popular hero named Johnny Appleseed (1774-1845), who was actually a real person, introduced the nutritious and popular apples through New England and parts of the Midwest. Orchard Orchard is avid, traveled around the countryside, distributing his favorite fruit seeds. Wandering across borders, was a true free spirit, although historians ran counter to human interests alone. It seems that many of the fruits of his trees were not fit for human consumption but made the apple juice great, and benefited financially from the trees he planted. (Sorry, people, but apparently old Johnny likes to drink a day, hundreds of acres produce a lot of apple juice, also called tampering.)
The fruits have been appreciated for their healing benefits and used for many diseases throughout history. There was no other fruit such a legendary effect. Think of the evil queen offering a poisoned apple to Snow White. The rebellious Swiss climber William Tyle, who ordered to shoot the apple off his son's head as a punishment. (Fortunately it was a good sign and the boy walked away without hurting, the apple did not do it.) No one is sure that the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" was actually an apple tree, but the Bible tells us that Adam and Eve sinned Eve and ate fruit, Which led to their expulsion from Aden. (It could have been commates.)
Nothing so basic and historical can escape the eye of food lovers Thomas Jefferson. This time he did not even have to travel to France. They came to him through French Minister Edmond Charles Genet, who arrived in the newly formed United States during the 1890s. The respectable man, knowing Jefferson's enthusiasm for the new fruits and vegetables, seems to have given him a gift of apple cuttings donated by Jefferson to Virginia's local nursery. They were then planted under his command and named "Rolls Genet". Thanks to the contribution of Japan a century later, which led to the hybridization of delicious red apples with Jefferson's Genet Rolls, she produced one of America's favorite varieties, Fuji. Just one other contribution to American favorites, greetings of our third president, Thomas Jefferson.
With apple blossoms in the 19th century, Virginia farmers often switched from tobacco to apples, making apple juice more profitable than their tobacco crops. (Who Needs Wine?) Apple quickly became the favorite fruit in America, used in apple, apple and apple cider vinegar ever popular.
These days, while apples have been popularized by bananas, it still maintains its status as the first whole American fruit, grown in every state, with more varieties than you can count on. Americans consume 28 pounds of bananas for 19 pounds of apples a year, with a total production of 48,000 tonnes. So you reach your favorite variety and enjoy. Just remember, when Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity, he did not hit his strawberry head. After all, they are Americans ...
