The skin has conspicuous lenticels. In certain areas and under specific climatic conditions, the Golden Delicious can develop a delicate pink blush. Golden Delicious was found as a seedling in West Virginia, USA, in the 1880s and introduced into South Africa in 1930 by the Molteno Brothers of Grabouw. The flesh is creamy and the taste is sweet and juicy. It is a superb eating apple and harvested from the beginning to mid-March.” Granny Smith is a medium to large apple, varying in colour from light to bright green. In cooler areas it develops a red blush. The lenticels are well-developed. The Granny Smith derives its name from a real granny Smith, Mrs Maria Smith, who discovered this seedling in her garden in Australia in the 1860s. The first plantings in South Africa date back to 1919. The apple’s flesh is firm, white and crisp and has a tart taste. It is an excellent eating apple, good for baking, and excellent for sauces or pureés. It is harvested from late March to late …show more content…

Royal Gala is covered with bright red stripes and harvested in mid-February. When ripe, the background skin is creamy and with its deep red stripes, the Royal Gala has a beautiful deep orange appearance. This apple originated in New Zealand and is a Gala mutation. It was introduced to South Africa in the 1980s and is now preferred to the Gala because of its better colour. The flesh is cream and the texture is crisp. The apple has a unique, sweet, tangy flavour and a lovely aroma. The Royal Gala is a perfect eating apple and ideal for salads.

Spain is in the southwestern part of Europe and to the east of the Mediterranean Sea. There are a large variety of fruits and vegetables grown in Spain. Food From Spain lists peaches, cherries, ioquats, apricots, nectarines, plums, apples, pears, grapes, wheat, and olives as fruits grown in Spain. There are also many others, but these specific fruits are only from Spain. A Melocoton de Calanda is a Spanish peach found in northeastern Spain. Cerezas de la Montana de Alicante is a sweet red cherry found in the jerte Valley in Extremadura of Spain. Ioquats are sweet, slightly acidic, and have a strong leathery skin. Certain types of apricots, nectarines, and plums also come from Spain. Apples from Asturias, Castile-Leon, and Catalonia of northern Spain are “generally considered superior (foodfromspain).” Pears are originally from Asia Minor, but grow well in inland Spain. Grapes, wheat, and olives play a major role in Spanish cuisine as well. Grapes are used for wine and oil. Olives are in abundance and are eaten and used for oil. Olive oil serves many uses in Spanish cuisine.
Of African origin are such specialities as gumbo and pralines, West Indian callaloo and duckandoo (a dish of greens and a dessert based on sweet potatoes), the Brazilian condiments dende oil and spicy hot sauces. Jamaica's bammy bread and the pan bread so beloved in the southern United States are both said to have their origin in the flat round cassava breads typical of Africa. Seeds and the plants of sesame, okra, some melons, and certain varieties of greens as well as yams, together with many techniques of bread making, and the use and combination of spices, are also all credited to the ingenuity of the African cook. It could be argued that every nation and every ethnic group has its own soul food. But the contemporary connotation of the term "soul food" refers to the gradual blending and developing of a peculiar style of cookery with its own dictionary of food terms: it is a blend of West African cookery begun in the southern United States and now very much a part of the cultural tradition of African-Americans, binding them proudly to their African heritage.... ...
So how did something not grown to any significant extent in West Virginia evolve into “our food?” Like many things for mountaineers, we got them from the Indians but not the ones that readily come to mind. That’s Indians as in South American Indians. Phaseolus vulgaris, pinto beans and cousins, originated from a common bean ancestor domesticated in Peru or close by 7,000 years ago. In fact, “pinto” is a Spanish word for painted, coined to describe the mottled or seemingly painted specks on this variety of bean.
Everyone has heard the saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but have they ever heard the saying an orange, yes way, will help you live another day? Oranges, along with many other citrus fruit have D-limonene in them (Hezy). D-limonene has proven to help prevent skin cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, mouth cancer, and colon cancer (Sun). This is most likely why the breakfast cereal companies will add in a glass of orange juice and say, “part of this complete breakfast”. “Because of its gastric acid neutralizing effect and its support of normal peristalsis, it has also been used for relief of heartburn as well” (Sun). D-limonene is also used clinically for dissolving cholesterol-containing gallstones (Sun).
Through conquest and exploration, apples were spread when Romans conquered England and when Spaniards brought them to Mexico and South America. It wasn’t until the mid 1600’s that the Pilgrims cultivated them in Massachusetts. It is believed that John Endecott, an early governor, was the first to bring an apple tree to North America, and the first orchard was planted on Beacon Hill by a clergyman named William Blaxton. It is Blaxton who is credited for growing the first named apple, the Yellow Sweeting. Once apples were established in New England, they played an active role in everyday life. As a fruit which was easily stored through the winter, as well as being very beneficial to settlers’ health, apples were a main staple in early settlers’ diets. Despite the fact that apples were not initially from North America, and have been growing disease-free for centuries in their native habitats, the early settlers found that the long, hot summers and cold winters of New England grew apples unlike anywhere else in the world. New England apples are known not only for their unique blend of tart and sweet flavors, but also for their size and freshness.
He traveled in a hollowed-out log with orchards worth of apple seeds with him and is a classic demonstration of the mutual benefit between people and plants. Humans give themselves too much credit when it comes to dominating and controlling other species. We believe that we can domesticate every plant, while in reality the process takes two to perform. For example, the oak tree denies domestication from humans, instead interacting primarily with squirrels. The squirrels are able to receive food through the acorns of the oak, while the oak benefits by the squirrels burying some of the acorns for the benefit of oak trees, resulting in no need for humans to step in to the perfectly functional arrangement. The relationship between humans and the apple was much the opposite, both benefitting greatly from one another. The apple has heterozygosity, meaning it has an immense amount of genetic variability. This allows the plant to easily grow in different climates, and by doing so it creates millions of different species. Johnny Appleseed played an important role in the establishment of apples all over America, managing to plant a chain of nurseries reaching from Pennsylvania to Indiana. He was welcomed into people’s homes as a legend, and in return for hosting him, Chapman would plant a few apple trees for them as a sign of thanks. Many settlers along his route also encouraged him to plant nurseries nearby, due to the apples main value back then being to produce hard cider. Chapman became a transporter of alcohol, as the apples were far too sour for anyone to eat on its own, and his popularity grew even further. The Prohibition came along, and the strike down on alcohol meant the cutting down of Chapman’s trees. Because of his extensive efforts to spread the seeds of the Apple tree, the
The topic that I will writing about is about the company of Apple and how it is a great company. I will also be talking how Apples is a utilitarian company and makes products that makes the consumers happy.

In this essay I will be discussing how Apples products make consumers happy, the philosophy of apple and how apple also makes people angry.
Are you wondering whether it is possible for any natural prevention for cancer to exist? Recent research has proven that there is considerable hope in looking at pumpkin seeds as a possible solution to the problem that has rocked humanity for many decades for which we have not been able to find any concrete solutions.
Hot apple cider is a little sweet and a little tangy, and is completely satisfying when you want a cup of something warm on a chilly morning.
