WildTwist® Apples

Now these wonderfully delicious apples are available organic. Melissa’s Organic Gala Apples have a mild, sweet flavor that is one of the most popular apples according to the U.S. Apple Association. Gala apples have a thinner skin and are fairly resistant to bruising which makes them a perfect snack out of hand or utilized as a tasty apple for baking.

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.

These are available organic and “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.”

Although not particularly good for baking, it lends itself well to normal cooking in addition to pies, cakes, compotes, spreads, chutneys, sauces and salads.

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.
