Contexte culturel
When guests arrive, fruit (including apples) is often served. It is considered polite to peel and slice the apple for the guest rather than serving it whole. Apples are believed to be 'cold' and 'moist' in nature, making them good for heart palpitations and mental clarity according to local herbalists. These regions are famous for their apples. Mentioning you are eating a 'Kashmiri' or 'Swati' apple implies you are eating the best quality available. Apples are a key ingredient in 'Fruit Chaat', the salad served at Iftar. Eating apples during Iftar is a common way to get immediate energy after fasting.
