A-PEELING APPLE FACTS Canadians eat an average of 86 apples per year. The largest producers of apples in the world are China, the US, Turkey, Poland and Italy. Apples bruise easier than eggs break It takes energy from 50 leaves to produce one apple. Apples ripen six to ten times faster at room temperature than if they were refrigerated. The science of apple growing is called pomology. Apples are a member of the rose family. One apple provides as much dietary
fiber as a serving of bran cereal McIntosh apples were discovered on a single mutated
plant in the late 1700s There are over 7500 varieties of apples grown throughout the world. |
