Which fruit is called Adam's apple?

Published in Biblical History 1 min read

The fruit commonly associated with the story of Adam and Eve and often called "Adam's apple" is the apple.

According to popular lore, stemming from the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Adam ate a forbidden fruit (often depicted as an apple). It is said that a piece of this fruit became lodged in his throat, creating the prominent bump now known as the "Adam's apple" in men. While the Bible doesn't specify the type of fruit, the apple has become the most widely accepted representation.
