TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL

[Judaic] The exact fruit that Adam and Eve ate was a matter of rabbinic debate. Candidates put forward include grapes, Pomegranates, etrogs, and figs. One scholar even argued for wheat, but his colleagues ridiculed him for that claim. Fig has been the most obvious choice, because only a few verses later it is described how God made garments of fig leaves (Gen. 3:7).
