NATIONAL APPLE DAY
National Apple Day falls on October 21 on the National Day Calendar as a day to celebrate all things apple! This food holiday is dedicated to growers in the UK and around the world to promote the rich cultural and historical significance of apples, as well as the importance of orchards and apple-related products in agriculture and heritage.
#NATIONALAPPLEDAY
There are over 7,000 recognised apple varieties globally. However, the number of apple varieties in the world is vast and can be quite challenging to quantify precisely. There are thousands of apple cultivars, each with its own unique characteristics in terms of flavor, appearance, texture. Because we use apples are used for a variety reasons, such as fresh consumption, baking, or cider production, new varieties are continuously being developed.
Not all apple varieties are widely known or commercially available. Many apple varieties are regional specialties, and their cultivation may be limited to specific areas or orchards.
