An Apple a Day Just Might Keep the Doctor Away History of Apples🍏 Apples are members of the rose family. They're most likely native to the Caucasus Mountains of Western Asia and maybe to Anatolia, the Asian part of Turkey. Carbonized apples have been dated back to 6500 BC in Anatolia. 🍎Apples came to Britain with the Roman Empire and made it to America in 1623, brought by William Blackstone to Massachusetts. 🍏 They are now commonly eaten with the Dutch eating the most, the French next, consuming most of theirs in the form of cider. Belgians and Italians are next, with the US coming in last only averaging one apple per week. We bring up the average in my family!!! The Health Benefits of Apples🍎 Apples are a highly digestible alkaline food.
🍏 They have a high-water content, which quenches both immediate and cellular-level thirst. 🍎 Because they’re juicy, have a high fiber content and aren’t sticky, they help clean the teeth and exercise the gums when eaten raw.

Pomegranates are one of my favorite things about fall and that’s before I even get to the health benefits!HistoryPomegranates have a long and varied history. They are a Persian and south Asian native and one of the oldest fruits known to humans. It was brought to China in 126 BC from Kabul, Afghanistan under the Han dynasty. When the Moors conquered Spain in about 800 AD, they introduced the pomegranate. The fruit became the emblem of Granada in the heart of Spain.
