What is the embodied energy in an apple?

Embodied energy is all relative to the system you want to in close. It takes at least 0.000116222 kW of energy to create an apple however it needs to be picked, processed, shipped, unpacked, and displayed under light in a air conditioned store. This physical labor, fuel in transit, and energy used to maintain an environment adds up quickly. The apple actually embeds up to 10000 times the energy to get the product to you.  Also, during the out-of-season period, we must factor in the energy it takes to store and keep the apple fresh.  This additional energy translates to an embodied energy of about 12,000 times the energy contained in an apple.
