The apple, of which there are said to be over 2000 varieties, has no
equal as an “all-round” fruit; but it is at its best just pared and
eaten raw. It requires thorough mastication both for digestion and
enjoyment.
When you are not feeling quite at par, cut an apple in two from stem
to blossom end and with a round pointed knife scrape it into a fine
pulp from either side. It is most refreshing and easily digested so.
Children and people whose teeth are defective can take it best that way.
The apple is the choicest salad fruit.
