Information About

Forbidden Fruit




Popularly, the fruit has been identified as an Apple (perhaps as a Latin pun of 'malus' sounding like 'evil' and 'apple'), although the ''Bible'' does not identify the fruit as an apple. Judaism teaches that the fruit may have been either Grape , Fig , Wheat , or Citron .

In the philosophical novel '' Ishmael '', the story of eating the forbidden fruit is described as a Metaphor for the loss of Quality Of Life caused by the change from Hunter-gatherer culture to an Agriculture -based society.




The term forbidden fruit also refers generally to any indulgence or pleasure that is considered illegal or immoral and potentially dangerous or harmful, particularly relating to such things as Sexuality , Recreational Drug Use , and underage Alcoholic Beverage consumption.
