The Forbidden Fruit Was Never an Apple | Bible Facts

About This Short

Why was the forbidden fruit never an apple? The truth is actually a mix of bad art and Latin puns. Most people assume the Garden of Eden story features an apple, but the Bible never actually specifies the fruit. This breakdown clears up the misconception by tracing how medieval painters and language misunderstandings created a myth that lasted centuries.

Genesis never calls it an apple. Not once. It just says "fruit." Blame medieval European painters, and a Latin pun. In Latin, the word for apple and the word for evil were the same word: malum. Painters ran with it, and thirteen centuries later, we still picture an apple.

The Bible never does.
