📝 Description

What is this product?

Green Apple (commonly Granny Smith and similar tart varieties) is a crisp, juicy apple known for its bright green skin, refreshing tang, and snappy bite. Naturally rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber (pectin), and polyphenol antioxidants, green apples support healthy digestion, help maintain stable energy, and are perfect for snacking, salads, juicing, and baking. Their firm texture holds up beautifully in pies, crumbles, and savory pairings with cheese or greens.

🌍 Origin

Modern green apple cultivars originated from selective breeding in Australia and New Zealand and are now grown across temperate regions worldwide, including India, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. Locally sourced apples are harvested for optimal crunch and flavor, then carefully graded to deliver premium freshness from orchard to table.
