Apples are available year-round through controlled-atmosphere storage, with peak volume and crispness during harvest season from late summer through autumn (February to June).
Choose apples that feel firm and heavy for their size, with smooth, tight, unblemished skin and a fresh, fruity smell.
Apples were seen as symbols of love and beauty in ancient Greek and Roman mythology! Remarkably, apples float in water because they are made up of nearly 25% air, and there are over 7,500 different varieties grown around the world today.
