The looks!

Better than red, the organic Ambrosia apple is bi-coloured, with an almost luminous pink/red blush over a creamy background. It is conical in shape and medium to large in size, with a tender, smooth and clear skin.

The taste!

Ambrosia is a sweet, low-acid apple with a distinct honeyed aroma; it is crunchy and chin-dribbling-juicy.

  • Ambrosia apples are slow to brown when cut, so are ideal for salads, fruit and cheese platters. Try them sliced in airtight bags for lunches or snacks.
  • Slices retain their shape when cooked, so Ambrosia apples are superb for tarts or open pies.
  • Naturally sweet, organic Ambrosia apples require less sugar than most other varieties when used in cooking or baking.
  • Many of the health benefits of apples are to be found in the skin, and because their skin is so tender, organic Ambrosia apples do not need to be peeled.
  • To preserve its maximum crunch and sweetness, Ambrosia, like all apples, should be stored in the refrigerator.

The Season?

The organic Ambrosia apple is harvested in late September – Right Now, and apples should be available in stores in North America from early October until about April.
