Re: [nafex] [ARTICLE] Interesting tropical fruits and their contents

Actually, what is said there about tropical fruit
would also hold true for apples. The fruit of the
wild apple trees in Kazakhstan don't have much to
envy as far as sugar is concerned to the grocery
store fruit. The only thing is in the wild there
is a lot more variability in size, bitterness, astringency, sugar, and so on.

And in fact, it has been shown that selection of
apple trees on sugar content and flavor dates
from way before manking as bears and other large
mammals have been doing it by eating the best
tasting fruits and dissiminating their seeds...
