Hidden Rose® Apple: Sweetness Surrounded in Color

When someone says the word ‘apple,’ what image pops into your mind? Is it an iconic red apple? How about a granny smith? Or a pink lady? Either way, we’re sure they have a translucent ivory flesh. But did you know not all apples have this cream-colored flesh?

That’s right – we’re about to introduce a new apple variety that will pop into your mind when you think of the world ‘apple.’ This variety is the Hidden Rose® Apple.

What is a Hidden Rose® Apple?

Hidden Rose® Apples are distinct for their lovely rose-colored flesh that’s housed within yellow, freckled skin. They are certified organic and grown using the highest environmental standards. Hidden Rose® Apples are grown in the Pacific Northwest, where its mild climate allows this variety to thrive. The cool nights and warm days are said to enhance both the color and sweetness of the Hidden Rose® Apple.

Hidden Rose® Apples are a highly seasonal, hard-to-grow variety. They are typically only available for a short time from October to November.

What do Hidden Rose® Apples Taste Like?

The Hidden Rose® Apple not only holds a striking inside, but also a delightful flavor. They are mildly sweet and tart, and hold hints of strawberry lemonade, citrus, and berries. Its texture is crisp and juicy, much like many other apple varieties.

How to Store Hidden Rose® Apples

Store Hidden Rose® Apples in cold storage. Under the proper conditions, Hidden Rose® Apples should last up to one month.
