What is a "Fuji"?
The Fuji apple is a popular variety known for its attractive appearance, sweet flavor, and crisp texture. Originating in Japan, it has become widely cultivated and appreciated worldwide. It typically has a red-orange skin with yellow-green highlights and sometimes has small patches of russeting. The flesh of the Fuji apple is dense, firm, and exceptionally juicy, offering a satisfying crunch with each bite. Inside, it contains a small core with seeds surrounded by succulent flesh. Fuji apples are versatile and can be enjoyed fresh as a snack or used in salads, desserts, and baking.
