Apples are a popular fruit that come in many varieties. In most parts of the United States, apples are in season in the fall. Grocery stores carry several types of apples at any time during the year.

For people who love apples, though, a trip to an apple orchard can be a real treat. Orchards are where apples are grown. At an orchard, you can taste many varieties of apples, and sometimes even pick your own.

I am an apple lover,  even more,  it is my favourite sort of fruit.  Of  course,  I would like to go to an orchard to an apple tasting, and to try all varieties of apples,  which are in season there.  But my favourite apple sort is Antonowka, which is native to  Russia.  Its taste is a bit sour ,   but if to store apples for some time, they became more sweet and also they have a wonderfull fragrance. There is no even need to tell about their great healthiness.


It was interesting to get to know about a tradition of gifting apples to teachers,  in Russia students   usualy bring flowers  as a gift.

According to an Iranian tale:” a pregnant lady should eat at least one fresh apple every morning to have a beautiful child”, and someone tells :”if a woman who wants to be pregnant, eats apple every day ,her baby will become son!!” it is such a strong belief for many people.
An apple is helpful to reduce Cholesterols and prevent from heart attack, It is also useful for digestive system in body and  recommended  to eat it after meals.
Some of apples are breeding in Damavand, Damavand is a town near Tehran and it is so famous for the highest inactive volcanic in Alborz mountain.
Damavand has very nice climate that is appropriate to grow apples. There is a wide range of apples that can be differentiated on the basis of some characteristics. These can be appearance, taste, smell and etc. such as: Jona Gold, Gala, Fuji, Brae burn, Granny Smith, Wealthy, Honey crisp, Paula red, Red and Golden delicious and…
Every year Iran export more than 30% of Damavand apple crops to other countries.
I like Gala very much, as well as Honey crisp and Granny Smith, Gala is my favorite, it smells very nice (imagine it like Rose flower)
Let’s  taste it!

I liked apples very much. Especially, take into consideration, that my native town was named The apples’ city. Earlier our town had a lot of the apple orchads where the different variety were grown. Unfortunately, with time, the name of our town was changed and the apple orchards began to dissapear. The new houses of the rich persons grew on their place.
In the our town the many different fruits and vegetables are grown. For example, next fruits: raspberries, currant, strawberries, grapes, apples, pears, peaches, apricots etc. Because of our acutely continental climat we can grow fruits only one time in the year – in summer. Our winter is very cold:)
