The scriptures describe something called "peri" that Adam and Eve ate. Peri means fruit in Hebrew. Scientists have suggested that the fruit may be figs, grapes, pomegranates.

And now the knowledge question:
One of these interesting, but completely unnecessary facts is fiction. Guess what?
20 THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW: 1. The world wants you to stay dumb. The dumber you are, the easier it is for you to sell products and services. The diagonal size of the TV is inversely proportional to the IQ. 2. Do not blindly believe in educational system. Training program out of date on the first day you start learning. (The exception is fundamental programs, but only in exact sciences; the question of applying fundamental knowledge in ordinary life remains open.) 3. Read non-stop, read as much as you can. You never know when new knowledge and concepts will come in handy, but you will be much better prepared for life's surprises. 4. Learn to communicate with others. Avoiding people, considering them unworthy of your communication, means not finding clients, friends, or work in the future. 5. Being shy is a waste of time. Don't let emotions rule your decision-making processes. 6. If you don’t like something in a relationship with another person, in the event of your breakup, this “something” will be the reason. 7. As much as possible communicate with people older than you. Try to understand their value system, their horizons and the logical connections between the environment and decisions taken. 8. Find people to admire and try to outdo them. 9. Over time, people become more conservative. If you want to do risky things, do them while you are young. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that reformism is the result of a lack of knowledge, not a focus. 10. Don't spend money on nonsense: save it for something serious (including your startup). It will also teach you how to spend money in business: wisely and for a purpose. 11. When choosing between spending money on things or experiences, choose experiences. The joy of impressions and memories is higher. 12. After you have learned how to save, learn how to earn. 13. Learn to program. It is easier to make a prototype yourself than to spend time and money explaining it to someone else. If you don't want to code, learn how to do something with your hands so that you can produce something useful. 14. Don't gain weight when you're young. This will shorten your active life by 10-20 years. 15. Learn how to cook food. Best time for thinking about something - when you cut the ingredients for a salad or soup. 16. Get enough sleep at night. Lack of sleep greatly affects the quality of decision making. 17. Write down your activities. Memory is not enough, no matter how fantastic it may be. 18. Have a big dream. Being flexible is great, but without dreams it can turn into running in circles. 19. Become an expert in your field before changing the field of activity. The point here is the 10,000 hour rule, and the fact that a good generalist must have been a good specialist in the past. 20. Don't try to fix people. Look for those who are not yet corrupted. Bonuses Learn 2-3 foreign languages. Knowing a language also provides an understanding of culture and an understanding of diverse points of view and values. Learn to speak culturally and write without mistakes. The ability to speak fluently and to the point will come in handy when you convey the company's point of view to consumers, as well as manage people. Learn to compete ethically in the areas of life you need. Life is a very competitive thing, and the inability to compete reduces your chances of changing your position or social status.
