« Fuji »

The Fuji has been the favorite apple in Japan and China for many years, and the west has fallen in love with it as well. In fact, in 1999 Fuji officially became the third most popular apple in the US, and the most widely planted variety worldwide. It is a generally large, globular apple, ranging in color from a greenish background with a red blush to a brighter red. The flesh of the Fuji is extremely crisp and juicy and stays that way longer than any other sweet apple. What makes the apple so appealing is the complexity of sweetness and tartness, leaving a deep, interesting taste lingering on the palate. And the flavor of the Fuji, like fine wine, actually improves with age!
