Apple (scientific name: Apple) is a kind of fruit, belonging to Malus of Rosaceae, and the tree is a deciduous tree. Apple fruit is rich in minerals and vitamins, and it is one of the fruits that people often eat.

Apple is a low-calorie food, producing only 60 kilocalories per100g. The nutrients in apples are soluble and easily absorbed by the human body, so they are called "living water", which is beneficial to dissolve sulfur and make the skin smooth and tender [1]. It is said that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away".

According to FAO statistics, in 20 13, the world's apple output was 80.82 million tons, which was 77180,000 tons higher than that of grapes, ranking second in the world (the first place was banana:10.67 million tons). There is no doubt that apple is the king of temperate fruit.

Main categories

There are thousands of varieties of apples, which are divided into three categories: wine varieties, cooking varieties and tail foods. The three varieties are different in size, color, fragrance, smoothness (and possibly crispness and flavor). Many varieties have high sugar content, moderate acidity and low tannin content. Besides raw apples, there are many cooking methods, which are often used as snack fillings. Apple scones may be the earliest American dessert. Fried apples are often eaten with sausages, pork chops and other dishes, especially in Europe. The latest taxonomic evidence shows that there are only more than 38 members of apple "family" (genus). It seems that it is not difficult to find a "family tree", but each species seems to have something in common with the apples we eat. Each species can provide some fruits, although some tastes really bad. From this point of view, every variety of Malus may have contributed to the sweetness of apples in supermarkets. About 2000 years ago, there were orchards all over the world.

Historical origin

Apples are native to central and southeastern Europe, Central Asia and West Asia, and Xinjiang, China. In Europe in 300 BC, M.P. Cato had recorded the varieties of apples. Later, the Romans began to cultivate, graft and reproduce. /kloc-in the 0/8th century, J.B. Montessori and T.A. used natural hybridization to select seedlings and gradually popularized cultivation. After European immigrants discovered the new continent of America, they introduced apples to America and cultivated many new varieties in America. During the Meiji Restoration, Japan introduced apples from Europe and America to Asia. Since then, Oceania and Africa have also introduced apples. In the past hundred years, apples have been planted all over five continents. The earliest Europeans had eaten apples and improved and selected them. Some varieties were seen as early as 2000 years ago. Before colonizing the United States, there were hundreds of known varieties in Europe. With the wave of immigration in North America, apple seedlings spread all over the country, becoming itinerant messengers of local legends, which played an important role in the spread of apples. Among them, john chapman, nicknamed "Apple Guy", grows apples widely in Ohio and Indiana. Indians and hunters may also spread apples.

Apple has been cultivated in China for more than 2000 years. According to legend, the "purple" eaten by Yu Xia is the red apple, which shows that apples have a long history in China. Guo of the Jin Dynasty wrote: "There are many cases in the west, and every family takes cut dew as preserved fruit, and hundreds of them are accumulated, which is called regular food." At that time, it was known that "on the second day of the first month, if the axe is mottled, it will spare the child." That is, it is similar to modern girdling technology and promotes more achievements. The technical level of apple planting in China in Jin Dynasty has reached a quite high level. Li, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem in "100 Poems on the South China Sea", which has been recited: "There is autumn wind in the house, and the green leaves are not exhausted. I mistakenly think it is a flower, but I don't know that the pods are scarlet." In the Ming Dynasty, there were not only "Su Naphthalene, Zhu Tan and Qing Tan" ripe in summer, but also "Liangzhou has Dongtan, which is ripe in winter and its son is green" (Li Shizhen played with it cleanly and heard several steps), and "it tasted like cotton wool for those who were not ripe, and rotten sand for those who were over ripe." Qunfangpu ").

Apple is a cultivated species, and its wild original species has not been found so far. The original wild apple in China was called Nai, which grew in Xinjiang. Nai has long been eliminated in production and replaced by western apples because of its poor quality. Western apples were first introduced to Yantai, Shandong Province in A.D. 187 1 year, and were introduced to Yantai by John Neves, a member of the Presbyterian Church of the United States, which opened a new era of apple cultivation in China. Apple-producing areas such as northwest and southwest have directly or indirectly introduced seedling learning technology from Yantai. Yantai is the birthplace of apple cultivation and apple culture in China. In 2006, Yantai Apple Association invited famous domestic experts to demonstrate "Yantai Apple", and experts agreed that "Yantai is the birthplace of apple cultivation in China.
