SLH Envy Apple

$3.70 $4.50
Key Description: Envy apple from New Zealand is very hard, crisp and crunchy. It has dark wine-red skin and, to match, an intense, almost wine-like flavor at first bite. Best enjoyed on its own, so you can savor its unusual taste and finely balanced sweetness. Once exposed to air, its flesh turns brown much more slowly than most apples, so it can be cut ahead of time for the lunchbox or picnic use.

Health Benefits:

High in fibre and Vitamin C. Bite down in them raw for a quick and tasty snack, or use them in classic pastries like apple pie.
