1. Apples
are native to Central Asia.
2. There
are over 7,500 known varieties of Apples grown today. China leads with 49% of
the total world production.
3. The Apple tree was perhaps
the earliest tree to be cultivated. This is probably why Apples are remarkably
significant in many cultures including Norse, Greek and European Christian.
4. The seeds of Apples
contain a sugar and cyanide compound called cyanogenic glycoside. In small
doses, these are not harmful to humans.
5. Apples are actually part
of the Rose family – just like pears and plums!
