The exact type of fruit is unknown despite the popular notion of it being an apple. It is only referred to as the fruit of the 'tree of the knowledge of good and evil', and was good to look at and to taste.
The idea that the fruit was an apple is first found in Christian sources. Jewish tradition states that the fruit was one of the following three items: grapes, wheat, or figs.

The fruit came from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Whether it had any similarity to fruit we know today is not known. The common perception that it was an apple is unfounded.

∙ 12y agoThere was another forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve had not yet eaten - the fruit of the Tree of Life. Now that they had become aware of their mortality, God knew that they would be tempted to eat this fruit and gain immortality, and so banished them from the Garden of Eden.and placed cherubim (sing: cherub)and a flaming sword at the entrance to keep [block] the way of the Tree of Life. This story is an allegory and the fruit were symbolic of man's yearning for immortality.

Childrrn are taught to think of the fruit as an apple, but thisis not what The Bible says. In Genesis chapter 3, we learn that it was the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. By eating this fruit, Adam became god-like (Genesis 3:22: "now the man is become like one of us." )

∙ 7y agoThe Bible tells us that Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 2:17). The reason the fruit was forbidden was that it made Adam and Eve like gods: (Genesis 3:22: "now the man is become like one of us").
Since no fruit can really make humans god-like, there was no fruit and therefore no Tree of Knowledge. These days we often say it was an apple, although the Bible clearly says otherwise.

The Bible doesn't say what it was. It has been traditionally said to be an apple.
