Because
National Bean Day on January 6 falls in the middle of winter, it’s the
perfect excuse to cook a favourite comfort food. Wondering why National Bean
Day is held on January 6? That’s the same day as the famous geneticist, Gregor
Mendel, died in 1884. Mendel used bean plants and pea plants to develop
theories on genetics in plants. So the formation of National Bean Day has more
to do with scientific development than how good bean recipes taste. But don’t
let that deter you from enjoying eating beans on this holiday!

National Bean Day (U.S.)
Apple Tree Day (U.S.)
Apple Tree Day on January 6 honours
the great tradition of growing and cultivating apples across North America.
Introduced to the region by colonists in the 17th century, apple farming has
been leading the fruit production industry in the U.S. for a century. From
cider to pies, the apple is a greatly versatile fruit with tremendous health
benefits and a mouthwatering taste. Although they don’t need any extra
marketing, apples still deserve this annual recognition for being the
quintessential American fruit, found in our homes throughout the year. So mull
that cider and fill your homes with that sweet aroma as we come together to
celebrate this great holiday.
