Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil
In the Book of Genesis, chapters two and three, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (and occasionally translated as the Tree of Conscience) was the tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden (2:9) from which God directly forbade Adam (and by extension Eve) to eat (2:17). The other tree in the middle of the garden was the Tree of life. Genesis 2:16 states that God allowed them to eat of the fruit of any other tree in the garden, which would include the Tree of Life. When Eve, and then Adam, ate the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge (3:6), after being tempted by a serpent (3:1–5), they became aware of their nakedness (3:7), and were banished from the garden and forced to survive through  agriculture "by the sweat of [their] face" .

Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
[Judaic] The exact fruit that Adam and Eve ate was a matter of rabbinic debate. Candidates put forward include grapes, Pomegranates, etrogs, and figs. One scholar even argued for wheat, but his colleagues ridiculed him for that claim. Fig has been the most obvious choice, because only a few verses later it is described how God made garments of fig leaves (Gen. 3:7).
