It's interesting as how apples have been a part of our mythology and have several hidden nutritional facts as well provocative tales. They have been evoking our senses in terms of health and been with us ever since the origin of a human kind "ADAM AND EVE"
Today when it's a proven fact that an apple a day keeps the doctor away makes any apple producer or a supplier feel proud to be a part of processing apples for doing good to a human kind. "Shimla Hills" is located in the foothills of Himachal which is a major production belt of apples In India.
Despite the archaeological findings the first written reference to apples only appears around 3,500 years ago in the Assyrian kingdom when an orchard containing apples was sold by one Tupkitilla for sum of three breeding sheep. Sadly the record does not explain how large the orchard was or how many trees were there although it does suggest that apple orchards were common enough and a part of regular property transactions.
It is known to us that 8,500 years ago apples were grown and eaten in ancient Jericho which was a city in the west bank region of the Jordan River. Jericho is considered to be the oldest and the longest inhabited city in the world with parts of the city dating back to over 11,000 years making the discovery of apple seeds from 8,500 years ago quite reliable and giving a clear indication that apples were eaten for almost as long as mankind have ever existed. There is no evidence that ancient Jericho had orchards as we understand them and the presence of seeds may only mean that apples were eaten and it's seeds thrown out, although there are suggestions that if apple seeds were being stored then probably apple trees were also being grown.

The best fruit with it's sweetest taste and juiciest flesh could only be afforded by royalty and their court in some parts of the ancient world. Apples were a popular dessert from the time as long as 4,500 years back. Hittite people were known for favoring apples and the oldest name for the fruit "warawars"comes from that time and their royalty is believed to have enjoyed eating sliced apples as desserts served on their plates by their slaves. A mummy of an Acadian lady by the name of Puabi was found in the Royal Cemetery of Ur along with the bodies of 5 guards and 13 ladies were buried with many items of food with her journey to afterlife which included a plate of sliced apples.Check out the write up on "Eve's apple" the bond of humans and apples ever since the creation of this world, as narrated in the Bible
