An Apple a Day is Easy Pickings With the Honeycrisp Apple Available for Your Eating Pleasure
Eating an apple a day is a widely recognized way for people to stay in good health.
And while apples are plentiful in the fall, there is a fairly newly developed variety that makes getting that apple a day a real treat.
In just over 15 years the University of Minnesota Horticultural Research Center has developed and made available for commercial growth the Honeycrisp Apple.
This apple hybrid has taken the marketplace by storm as a favorite eating apple.
And the name of the apple - Honeycrisp - could not more precisely describe how it tastes.
The cream colored coarsely textured flesh is sweet, with a tart note on biting and is over-the-top in juiciness with each bite.
This snap in the sound of the bite is because of the Honeycrisp's very high water content.
Apple eaters enjoy the sharp crisp sound of each bite they take of this thin-skinned, pinkish to mottled red over a yellow to green hued background delicious-beyond-compare fruit.
The size of the ripe apples themselves are a marvel.
An extra-fancy Honeycrisp Apple can be up to 3-1/2 inches (9 centimeters) in diameter and weigh in at one pound! Certainly a great snack for sharing It wasn't that long ago that this hybrid apple, a cross between a Macoun (developed in Trenton, Ontario, Canada) and Honey Gold (a hybrid cross between a Golden Delicious and Haralson), was introduced into the marketplace.
Developed at the University of Minnesota, the Honeycrisp Apple was the result of developing a winter hardy apple that had great fruit quality and a long storage time.
While there is a window of only a few weeks during which the markets carry this tantalizing fruit as freshly picked, it is one of few apple varieties that can be stored over long periods of time - up to six months in refrigerated conditions.
From September to February Honeycrisp Apples are made available to local sellers.
You can check out places where you can get this tantalizing, amazingly delicious apple at a store near you at Apple Journal where you can find small family run fruit orchards around the world that sell them.
The Extra Fancy grade make a great gift to send to family and friends.
And the Fancy Grade makes a good snack that is less costly, slightly smaller and perhaps having only a few minor blemishes that do not affect the quality of eating.
