Old Fruit in Alexandria, Egypt

We remember the fish , which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick.
Numbers 11

Apple, olive, and pomegranate trees were brought to Egypt during the reign of the Hyksos or later. Mulberry trees reached Egypt from Armenia or Persia before or during the New Kingdom.

Pears, peaches, almonds and cherries were not introduced until the Roman period, but figs, grapes and the not always very tasty sycamore figs which could be harvested from April to December, were known from early times. Coconuts were an imported luxury fruit affordable only to the rich.
