THE APPLE OF MY EYE:
NATIONAL APPLE MONTH

Every October, the United States celebrates National Apple Month, a festive occasion encouraging the appreciation and consumption of apples. Orchestrated by the U.S. Apple Association, this month-long event aims to support apple growers and promote products nationwide.

National Apple Month's primary purpose is to showcase the versatility and health benefits of apples, which are among America's most beloved fruits. Apples are not just delicious, but also packed with nutrients that can boost your health. The campaign involves various promotional activities, including apple-picking events at local orchards, apple-themed recipes, and educational programs about the nutritional value of apples. These initiatives boost the apple industry and educate consumers about incorporating more fruits into their diets.

ALL THOSE APPLES: DIVERSITY AND FAVORITES

Apples, with their wide variety in size, color, and taste, boast over 7,500 varieties worldwide, with about 2,500 grown in the United States alone. This diversity allows for a multitude of uses in cooking, baking, and fresh consumption, catering to a wide range of palates and preferences.

Among the plethora of apple varieties, the top five most popular in the United States are: Red Delicious, Gala, Granny Smith, Fuji, and Honeycrisp. Each variety has its unique characteristics and uses, catering to different tastes and preferences.

—Red Delicious: Known for its deep red color and mildly sweet flavor, it is a favorite for snacking.

—Gala: Small and sweet, with a hint of vanilla, ideal for eating fresh and cooking.

—Granny Smith: Famous for its bright green skin and tart flavor, it is preferred for baking pies and making cider.

—Fuji: This apple originates from Japan and is large, crisp, and incredibly sweet, making it great for eating raw.

—Honeycrisp: A newer variety that has quickly gained popularity for its perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors and its exceptionally crisp texture.

National Apple Month is not just a celebration of a fruit, but a recognition of its economic and cultural significance. It serves as a reminder of the health benefits of apples and promotes better eating habits, contributing to the growth of the apple industry.
