The Tales Behind Apple Names (Livestream) - The History of Fresh Produce
Description
Apples are one of those rare fruits that you can actually recognize by name. Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji… the list seems endless.
But have you ever wondered where these names came from?
Is there an actual 'granny' behind the Granny Smith?
Was the Red Delicious truly the most delicious of all red apples?
And what about Bramley - does that name come from a person, a place, or perhaps an aristocratic family?
In this month's livestream, John and Patrick dig into a few apple varieties and explore the fascinating history behind their names.
