It takes awhile to notice them, but new apple varieties are starting to show up on a regular basis.Over the past few years I have been getting to know some of the heirloom varieties like Winesaps that were popular many years ago and now are starting to become so again. Add in the newly released varieties like my new favorite, the Honey Crisp, and I'm starting to get overwhelmed with apples. Did you know that there are over a thousand types of apples grown in the US! Some of the newest apples to try are the Zestar! if you are lucky enough to find it and the SnowSweet. It takes apx. 40 years for a new apple variety to be developed, approved, and make it into the stores. So even when you are eating a new variety it still has decades of history behind it.Posts with tag honer crisp
