Wellsley Farms Organic Fuji Apples, 5 lbs.

Fuji apples are a red-pink apple with striping and blush. Fuji apples are crunchy and low in acid, creating a mild and balanced, sweet-tart flavor with notes of honey and citrus. They are sweeter and crispier than most apples making them very popular around the world. They have a very long shelf life of up to a year in refrigeration but can also be stored without refrigeration for longer than average. Fuji apples were first cultivated out of japan and china, but are now also grown in Washington, Michigan, Pennsylvania, new York and California. The Fuji apple is the third largest produced apple in the united states behind the Red delicious and gala. Fuji apples are best suited for eating fresh out of hand and used cooked for baking, roasting, and stewing. Fresh Fuji can be sliced and tossed into green and fruit salads, grated into coleslaw, or chopped and used as a topping over oatmeal and cereal. Fuji apples can also be pressed into juices and cider, cooked into jelly, blended into applesauce, or boiled into apple butter. The thick skin and dense flesh of the apple hold well when cooked, making the apple a popular variety used to bake into pies and other desserts.
