Its skin can vary in colour, including shades of red, green, and yellow, while the flesh is typically crisp and juicy. Apples are known for their sweet to tart flavour, which can vary significantly between different varieties. They are commonly consumed fresh, and are also used in various culinary applications, such as baking (e.g., apple pie), cooking (e.g., applesauce), and preserving (e.g., cider). Apples are rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, and they are often associated with health benefits. The fruit has cultural significance in various contexts, symbolising knowledge, temptation, and health.
