International Eat An Apple Day 2022: Fun Facts About This Fruit

The third Saturday in September each year is designated as International Eat An Apple Day. September 17 is the date in 2022. We’re inspired to go down on this crunchy, vibrant fruit on this day. Don’t stop there; the aim is to eat one every day. That is how you keep the doctor away, as the adage goes. A Pembrokeshire adage that was first used in 1888 reads, “Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread,” which is allegedly the ancestor of the saying we use today. You guessed it right! It is: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,”. It came into existence in 1913.
