To see how global the sourcing of food ingredients has become, look no further than the juice in your child’s lunch box. Apples, an iconic ingredient long the stuff of all-American pies and dunking contests, now come from the orchards of growing regions like Shaanxi province, with China, the world’s largest grower of apples, exporting more apple juice concentrate than any other country.
