Apple Tree Day

Apple Tree Day could also be referred to as 'Doctor Day Out of Work' for the health benefits of the fruit. However, the origins of this date are quite different. Apple Tree Day firstly was a celebration of an apple tree that is nearly two centuries old, and after that has become a celebration of the apple.

The apple tree, which is a tree belonging to the rose family, is deciduous. Its ancestor was Malus sieversii, which is still cultivated today. Native to Central Asia, apples were then cultivated for many years in Europe, before European colonization brought them to Northern Amerca in the 17th century. They are possibly the oldest cultivated tree. When you consider the long journey apples have traveled around the world and the fact that they are still one of the most popular foods today, it's not hard to see why they deserve to be honored.

In fact, there are many benefits associated with eating apples! Apples have a number of antioxidants, including chlorogenic acid, phloridzin, catechin, and quercetin. There have been a number of different studies linking eating apples with lowering cholesterol, reducing your risk of several diseases and controlling your weight. One way to honor the Apple Tree today is to dig deeper into the different types of apples available, understand the unique benefits they offer, and experience the unique flavors they bring.
