It wasn’t so long ago that apples, the most popular fruit in the world, were only available for a few months in the year, and were limited to only a handful of varieties. Today we have an abundance of riches, with over 7,500 different kinds of apple available: the Pink Lady, Pacific Rose, Cox’s Orange Pippin, Fuji, Braeburn, Red and Golden Delicious, Gala, and, the Granny Smith, the most popular of these.
