fun facts of Granny Smith

  • The tough skin and amazing keeping qualities make Granny Smith one of the most widely transported apples worldwide.
  • Granny Smith remains firm when baked, making it a very popular cooking apple used in pies and cakes where it can be sweetened.

storage of Granny Smith

  • Store unwashed apples in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
  • To store an entire box of apples, keep the box in a cool, dark place. Wrapping each apple in paper will provide additional protection and delay ripening.
  • Loose apples will last 6-8 weeks if refrigerated.

Persimmon is just as highly nutritious, as it is delicious. It is thus not a surprise that the Greeks called this “the fruit of the Gods.

Exterior: Bright orange glossy skin distinguished by their flat bottoms and squat shape.

Interior: Bright orange flesh which can be eaten at any stage of ripeness, whether firm or soft.

Experience: Firm, crispy and delicately sweet when not fully ripe and darker, jelly-like and amazingly sweet when fully ripe.
