apple varieties

Fuji, Gala, Honeycrisp

Apple varieties are the many distinct cultivars of the apple, each with characteristic flavor, texture, color, and purpose.

Some varieties like Granny Smith are tart and firm, ideal for baking; others like Honeycrisp are sweet and crisp, preferred for eating fresh.

Heirloom varieties such as Cox's Orange Pippin persist alongside modern commercial cultivars like Fuji and Gala.

The farmers market offers dozens of apple varieties you won't find in grocery stores.
