The fruit often associated with being "forbidden" is the apple. This connection stems from various cultural and religious narratives, notably the biblical story in Genesis. In this context, Adam and Eve are tempted by the serpent to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, leading to their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Although the type of fruit is not explicitly identified in the Bible, artistic representations have predominantly depicted it as an apple. Thus, the apple has become a symbol of temptation and the desire for knowledge, often referred to as the “forbidden fruit.”
