How Do You Like them Apples?: The History of the Apple

from Eat My Globe · host Simon Majumdar

On this episode of Eat My Globe our host, Simon Majumdar, will be looking at the remarkable history of the apple from its beginning point in the hills of the Tien Shan mountains in Kazakhstan to its ubiquity in cuisines around the world. Along the way we shall see how these apples were spread around the world by the Romans, and by traders through the Silk Road. We shall see how it is related to the Bible, how it inspired Isaac Newton to come up with his theory on the law of gravity, how it relates to the tale of Johnny Appleseed, and much more. This is a story not to be missed.
