Granny Smith
Granny Smith apples produce a burst of tangy-tart flavour in every bite
This late season large apple is a green, crisp juicy variety that will delight those who enjoy a burst of tangy-tart in every bite. Filled with plenty of crunch and flavour, Granny Smiths are best eaten fresh, crisp and cold, either as snacks or in salads. Good for cooking and eating, with a long storage life. Granny Smith harvest is from early April.
Granny Smith apples are very refreshing, tart and aromatic. They are a traditional favourite in many countries.
Granny Smiths are one of the most versatile apples you’ll find. If you like the sharp flavour, it’s a great eating apple, but is also brilliant in cooking as it holds its shape well and resists browning when sliced. It’s perfect for crumbles and pies.
