FOOD TRIVIA

What fruit known as the "Persian apple" is commonly found in the supermarket during the summer months?

Answer:
The peach is native to China, then came through Europe and Persia. A great way to ripen under-ripe peaches is to place them in a paper bag, pierce the bag in several places, and set it aside for a couple of days. Adding an apple to the bag will also speed ripening because apples exude ethylene gas.
