Do you like apples? At least they do on the Rondestveit farm that is passed now. Here, they actually developed a completely unique and tasty apple variety which of course got the name Rondestveit. The mother tree was cut down in 1937 and was then about 70 years old. A good apple tree in the right place yields up to 1000 apples each season. Here in Hardanger, the apples mature throughout the warm summer before they are harvested from August until December. And apples are obviously good! In Norway, we eat about 10 kilos of apples on average each year. In addition, apples are used for both cider, juice, nectar, and juice. That fruits and vegetables are healthy, or that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," are old sayings that have withstood the test of time. For example, several studies have shown that just one extra serving of fruits and vegetables per day reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by 4-5 percent.
