Bedeutung
An apple with a high sugar content.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Apples are the most produced fruit in Hungary. The 'Jonatán' variety was the national favorite for decades, known for its sweet-tart balance. Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county is the 'apple orchard' of Hungary. An apple from here is a mark of quality. The 'Golden Apple' (aranyalma) is a common motif in folk tales, representing wealth and health. Traditionally, a family would slice one sweet apple into as many pieces as there were family members to ensure they stayed together in the coming year.
Look for the color
In Hungary, redder apples are almost always the 'édes alma' varieties, while green ones are 'savanyú'.
Case endings
Don't forget to add '-t' when you are buying or eating the apple! (almát)
