Apple Day - or funny and interesting things about the apple

Right on time for Apple Day, we want to devote our blog entry today to the refreshing and healthy fruit. Whoever thinks “Apple... how boring”, should know that the apple can do much more than just spend its existence as the bitten into variety in the logo of a large and well-known American company.

Viewed historically, the apple already has several legends under its belt. One of the best known is probably the story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple played a rather fateful role. Also in Greek mythology, the apple in the form of a present was rumoured to have finally triggered the Trojan War. In many cultures, the round fruit is indeed considered a symbol for love, fertility and the giver of life, and is assigned as a symbol to the corresponding goddesses.

Now as then, the apple serves as an excellent source of vitamins and keeps the body healthy.
Particularly during the winter months, the vitamin store needs to be regularly replenished. For this reason, we are greeting our guests when they arrive with tasty apples in their rooms. The teeth also benefit from regularly enjoying an apple: the apple is also commonly known as Nature’s toothbrush.

And we finish with a small fun fact:

A well-known apple lover was Friedrich Schiller. All over his studio and in his desk drawers were apples, but not to eat, as it is generally thought. Friedrich Schiller loved the mouldy apple smell given off by the decaying fruit. This smell was the source of his inspiration.
