[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text text_larger=”no”][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_larger=”no”]You remember that story, I guess: God cast Adam and Eve out of Eden<\/em>. The couple were guilty of having eaten the forbidden fruit from the tree of Knowledge, after being expressly forbidden by the Almighty himself.<\/p>\n

Well, for some reason, we’ve been taught that damned fruit is the apple<\/strong>. But that’s not the case at all!<\/p>\n

Neither in the books of Genesis nor in the entire Bible is there a single reference that the one with the forbidden fruit is an apple tree.<\/p>\n

In the original version of Genesis, written in Old Hebrew, the fruit is called p\u011bri<\/em>, a generic name for any type of fruit with seeds (in fact it was speculated that the forbidden fruit could be pomegranate, apricot, lemon, and even wheat or wine…).<\/p>\n

The misunderstanding arose when, at the end of the 4th century, Pope Damasus I asked a man named Jerome<\/em> (later proclaimed a saint) to translate the original Old Testament into Latin.<\/p>\n

That job took the industrious Jerome over 24 years (now do you understand why he was canonized?).<\/p>\n

Anyway, St. Jerome used the Latin word m\u0101lum<\/em>: this in Latin stands for “evil”, but also for “fruit” and “apple”.<\/p>\n

Over the centuries, Latin disappeared, and probably no one remembered all the meanings of m\u0101lum<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As time goes by, the apple had been replacing the “generic fruit” as the subject of the curse. We can see that in paintings with a religious background (above all, the Sistine Chapel), and the subject of epic poems (above all, Milton’s “Paradise Lost”).<\/p>\n

In conclusion, let’s do justice to the apples, they deserve it!<\/p>\n

They are very healthy, as well as being tasty!<\/p>\n

Oh, before I forget: they can also be dried using the INOX BIM<\/strong> Climatic cabinet<\/a>!<\/p>\n
