The four major stops in the journey of an
apple include the grower, packer, broker, and
shipper.
Packed apples are placed on trucks
and shipped directly to supermarket chains,
or to wholesale markets where small stores or
restaurants may purchase them.
Other
apples may be diverted from the packing
process and loaded onto trucks in the
orchard or the packing warehouse and
shipped to processors to become apple juice
or apple chips.
Eating
Most apples are eaten raw, but apples are also
used to make applesauce, apple cider, apple
juice, apple cider vinegar, jellies, apple pie,
dried apples (apple chips), and apple
concentrate which is used as a flavor in many
foods.
