Description
Fruit: eating raw, cooking, or drying. Apples are one of the most common and cultivated types of fruit in temperate climates. There are various types of apples with a range of flavors, from sour to sweet, and textures from dry to juicy. They also vary in ripening periods, with some apples being ripe as early as the end of July, while others are not ripe until late autumn. Some apples contain a lot of pectin, making them ideal for making jam. Edible oil can be extracted from the seeds of an apple.
