🍎 Apple

Malus domestica

A round, crunchy fruit that grows on trees, often red, green, or yellow.

Round with a small dip on top where the stem sits, and shiny, smooth skin.

Sweet and juicy, sometimes a little tart, with a satisfying crunch when you bite it.

Full of fiber and vitamin C, which help your tummy work well and keep you strong.

Eat them fresh with the skin on, slice them for snacks, or bake them into pies and sauce.

Grows on apple trees from a pretty flower, ripening on the branch until it is ready to pick.

Picked mostly in late summer and fall, but you can find apples in stores all year.

Apples were first grown long ago in the mountains of Central Asia, near Kazakhstan.

There are more than 7,500 kinds of apples in the world, each with its own taste and color.

Keep apples in the fridge to stay crisp, and eat the skin for extra fiber.
