Organic Granny Smith Apples

Melissa’s Organic Granny Apples get their name from its founder, Mrs. Maria Ann (Granny) Smith. The variety has a solid green exterior with a greenish to yellowish-white, fine-grained flesh. The taste is mildly sweet with a tart after taste, which sweetens in storage

Braeburn Apples are a cross between a Granny Smith and Lady Hamilton. The fruit has a red vertical streaky exterior, with a yellow-green to creamy yellow flesh. They have a very crisp texture but deliver a juicy sweet and tangy flavor. Apples have many health benefits, providing a good source of dietary fiber and vitamin C with no saturated fat, cholesterol, or sodium.

Now they are even better because “Melissa’s Certified Organic Produce is free of artificial or synthetic fertilizers and full of unforgettable, great tasting flavor. Our farmers use traditional earth-friendly farming methods inspected by a nationally recognized agency to verify organic authenticity. Melissa’s Organic Produce, a choice made closer to nature.”

Melissa’s Ambrosia Apples have the general conical shape of their relatives, the red delicious and golden delicious apples, but everything else about them is completely different. Ambrosias are well named; they are a delight to look at, to touch, to bite into and to savor. Their skin is smooth, with a bright, almost iridescent pink blush over a creamy yellow background. Their flesh is creamy, tender, and juicy, with a very fine, crisp texture. Melissa’s Ambrosia Apples are a sweet, low-acid apple, with a fragrant, pleasing aroma. Because this variety oxidizes very slowly, they are perfect for using in fruit salads or on cheese platters at large gatherings where they will retain their beautiful cream colored flesh.
