scott's orchard / red delicious apples 1lb (al)

Alabama: Grown in Hazel Green, Alabama, the Red Delicious is one of the most historically recognizable American heritage varieties, originally discovered in Iowa in the late 19th century. Known for its deep crimson skin, distinct oblong shape with five prominent points on the bottom, and mild, sweet flavor, it has long been a staple fresh-eating apple.

While mass-market supermarket Red Delicious apples are notorious for being harvested prematurely, heavy-waxed, and stored for up to a year—resulting in a thick, bitter skin and mealy, dry interior—orchard-fresh ones are a completely different experience. Left to tree-ripen naturally, farm-fresh Red Delicious apples yield a crisp bite, thin skin, juicy texture, and a gentle, aromatic sweetness.
