Apples

Apples are a popular and nutritious fruit, belonging to the Rosaceae family. They are round or oval in shape, with skin that can range in color from red, green, to yellow, depending on the variety. Apples have a crisp texture and a sweet or tart taste, influenced by the variety and growing conditions. They are rich in fiber, vitamins (particularly vitamin C), and antioxidants.

The fruit is typically eaten fresh but can also be used in cooking, baking (e.g., apple pie), and making beverages like cider and juice. Apples have been cultivated for thousands of years, and today, there are over 7,500 known varieties grown worldwide. Some of the most popular varieties include Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, and Honeycrisp.
