An Apple a Day

The apple was one of the earliest and is now one of the most cultivated fruits worldwide. The apple tree originated in Asia nearly 7500 years ago but there have been apple seeds carbon dated back to 6500 BCE and fossilized apple seeds from the Neolithic Era! Apples are known in culture and art as a fruit of luxury, fertility, mystery and even as a symbol of sexual seduction, from portrayls of the forbidden fruit, in the garden of Eden. Best of all, apples are very good for you. There must be some truth to that old phrase.
