Frequently asked questions
How do I store apples to keep them crisp?
Keep them in the fridge crisper drawer at 0–4°C — stored cold they stay crunchy for 2–4 weeks. Keep them away from bananas, as the ethylene apples release speeds ripening of other produce.
Are these apples sweet or tart?
It depends on the variety — Gala and Queen are honey-sweet, Red Delicious is mild and mellow, and Granny Smith is bright and tart. Each apple page notes its exact flavour.
Which apple is best for kids?
Gala and Queen apples are the most kid-friendly — sweet, crunchy and not tart, ideal for lunchboxes.
Which apple is best for baking?
Granny Smith — its firm, tart flesh holds its shape when baked and balances the sugar in pies and crumbles.
Can I eat the apple skin?
Yes — the skin holds most of the fibre and antioxidants. Just rinse under water before eating.
How long do apples last at room temperature?
About a week at room temperature. For 2–4 weeks of freshness, keep them refrigerated.
