Apple | Healthiest Foods

An apple is a sweet, edible fruit produced by an apple tree (Malus pumila). Apple trees are cultivated worldwide and are the most widely grown species in the genus Malus. The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, is still found today. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe and were brought to North America by European colonists. Apples have religious and mythological significance in many cultures, including Norse, Greek and European Christian traditions,More info:wiki

#10    How Do You Like Them Apples,More info:dishingjh

Fall has to be my favorite foodie season. Spring is exciting, with new crops popping up. Summer gives us the first produce from the garden, but fall takes the cake with the full bounty of the harvest to enjoy. Many crops are ideal right now, my favorite of which has to be apples. Perhaps it is because I grew up in the biggest apple producing state in the country, or maybe it’s because I love apple pie to the point of subbing it out for a normal breakfast in the morning. Either way there are few things that are synonymous with the season like apples in the fall. The versatility of this tree fruit is what has the most appeal for me. It can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, each variety having their own unique set of taste attributes (there are over 2,500 different varietals of apples grown in the U.S. alone). To honor the season and my favorite fruit, Dishing has come up with a list of some of our favorite apple centric dishes on both sides of the taste spectrum to inspire you this fall.

Sweet: When it comes to apples and dessert, it seems like apple pie gets all the credit. It is a great American dish, but apples can be so much more than that, as plenty of places around Jackson embrace the sweeter side of the apple. Rene Stein, head chef at The Rose, is a master of using local and seasonal ingredients in his dishes. His dessert featuring local apples is something not to be missed, try it at the Sub Rosa Wednesday tastings or after dinner Thursday through Sunday.

#9   How to wash pesticides off apples, according to science,More info:theverge

Holding an apple under running water for a few seconds isn’t enough to get rid of the pesticides on its skin, new research says. Your best bet is to soak your fruit in a baking soda solution — for 12 to 15 minutes. And if you’re really concerned, of course, you can always peel your apples.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst tested a few different ways to wash chemical residue off of produce: the bleach solution that farmers dunk fruit in after harvest, a liquid slurry of baking soda, and plain old tap water. The baking soda was the best at removing the chemicals, they report this week in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
