RED DELICIOUS
FLAVOUR PROFILE
Sweet but very mild flavour, somewhat reminiscent of slightly over-ripe melon
WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR?
Great for juice or cooking. Simmered into sauces, used as a thickener in soups, or cooked into apple butter. They can also be cooked into jams, jellies, and syrups or blended into juices as a sweet addition. They have a notoriously hard skin!
HOW TO PICK A RIPPER RED DELCIOUS
Pick your favourite size and one that isn't too green!
WHO'S FAVORITE?
There are a group of die hard Red Delicious fans who come every year to pick these as you can't find them in the shops anymore!
INTERESTING FACTS..
They are used a lot to create new varieties of apples! They are a very old variety of apple - so quite nostalgic for people!

LADY

HOW TO PICK A GREAT PINK LADY?
The red colour from these apples is just from the sun, so even if the apple looks a bit green it's still a perfect apple! they are all RIPE!
WHO'S FAVORITE?
Everyones fave! We get asked all the time when our pinks are ready!
INTERESTING FACTS..
Lots of our Pink Lady apples are a strain called Rosy Glow - they are much redder than a standard Pink Lady and were found down the road in Forest Range by the Mason Family. Our house was built by one of the Masons!

Sour apple but refreshing!
WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR?
Everyone knows that Granny's are great for cooking - but from our observations kids absolutely love Granny Smiths for their sour flavour!
HOW TO GRAB A GRANNY..
Granny Smith apples are quite a robust apple and therefore, basically pick the size that you want!
WHO'S FAVORITE?
Everyones - because it means its baking time!
