Lemonade apples are a specialty New Zealand variety developed from a natural cross between Braeburn and Gala apples. Named for their golden, lemon-hued skin and bright, sweet-tart taste, these medium to large apples have a crisp, dense, and juicy texture that sometimes delivers a subtle fizzy sensation when bitten. Their flavor combines the sweetness of Gala with the tartness of Braeburn, along with faint floral and fruity nuances.

Originally grown exclusively by the Yummy Fruit Co. in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, Lemonade apples are now also cultivated in Washington State. They are a versatile fresh-eating apple that pairs well with cheese on charcuterie boards, in salads, on toast with nut butter, and in both sweet and savory cooked preparations. This 4-pound bag provides a generous supply for snacking and cooking.
