Apples
I am a red-fleshed apple.
It looks ordinary on the outside. I mean, you’ve seen apples before, right? Who hasn’t? Apples are one of the most common fruits known to man. So common, in fact, that although the Bible only references the word fruit in the Garden of Eden story, every artist rendering of that fruit – is an apple. So, basically you say fruit – people think apple.
But this apple – this red-flesh apple is a surprising little fruit. People might pass it by thinking ‘you’ve tasted one you’ve tasted them all’. Their loss. Because those who venture beneath the skin are handsomely rewarded, stunned by the deep, rich texture and the uniquely desirable flavor inside.
