Apple Juice Powder Gives You a Refreshing Burst of Nutrition
We get the cooling and thirst-quenching effect when eating an apple is most likely due to the tannins present in the food. Our Organic Apple powder is a great way to get a burst of nourishment on the go. And if you happen to see Johnny Appleseed on your travels, thank him for helping to make this amazing food a year-round staple for all of us.
The Fascinating Origin of the Apple
New apple trees are often grown from cuttings which are then grafted to make a strong rootstock. Apples are not grown by seeding because they often contain a random amount of both mother and father's chromosomes, making them undependable for reproducing the same apple.
A planted seed will most likely go back to its previous wild species or produce a completely new kind of apple compared to the one it came from. A new apple tree will begin to produce fruit after about 4-5 years. This work is not for the impatient. The blossoms will often appear in late spring after the seasonal frost is over. The fall is when the fruit becomes ripe and is ready for picking.
The apple has really come a long way since they were first cultivated. There are now between 7000 to 10,000 varieties of this nourishing fruit and more popping up all the time. Most versions you see today are a hybrid: the United States, Turkey. Poland and Italy, Brazil, Chile, and New Zealand are some leading producers due to their perfect growing climate. Today, markets take advantage of importing from all over the world to be a fresh supply of apples all year round. This is most likely why apples are one of the most popular fruits, in so many areas around the world.
Apple trees, or Malus pumila, may reach up to 40 feet in height with around 100 years. They most often grow wild in zones around 50 degrees latitude, either north or south. On the top of rolling hills is one of the ideal locations as this offers greater protection from frost damage. Apple trees cannot self-pollinate, so they need to grow together to allow for cross-pollination, which is why the orchid setting is ideal.
