How did apples become a symbol of American patriotism and tradition?
Published 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
“As American as apple pie” — it’s a phrase that’s come to be known as something quintessentially American, symbolic of tradition and patriotism. The irony is that apples are not actually native to America at all! Though they’ve become a symbol of the United States, apples originate far from North America. We trace Apple’s tasty history from Asia to America and westward as part of our celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary.
